10/10 Excellent
"Ideal for exploring Milan and perfect for rest. I live in the neighbourhood and booked the room because my AC broke and the service here in hot season is never immediate. In my apt everything is designed for perfect sleep, mattress, pillows, Daikin Pro AC plus ventilation that cools the room and doesn't blow in my face, double windows. I travel a lot and suffer often in the hotels. So UNA Verticale is a rare blessing. I slept like home with really many thanks. Also, the check in was fast and as I asked for a quiet room they found immediately. Very appreciated as I was rather exhausted. And excellent breakfast"
