Question 1

Are short-term rentals in Milan suitable for both business and leisure stays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, short-term rentals in Milan are ideal for both business travellers and leisure visitors. They offer the flexibility of fully furnished apartments with modern amenities—such as high-speed Wi-Fi, equipped kitchens, dedicated workstations, and comfortable living areas—making them perfect for remote work, corporate trips, and family vacations. Many rentals are located near key business districts like Porta Nuova and popular attractions such as Duomo di Milano, Brera, and Navigli, allowing guests to experience the city conveniently and comfortably.

Question 2

What is the minimum and maximum stay for a short-term rental in Milan?

Accepted Answer

The definition of a “short-term rental” in Italy generally refers to stays of 30 days or less. Many host platforms and properties treat anything longer as a standard tenancy with different regulation. Always check each listing’s policies—some may allow 1-day minimums or longer stays (e.g., several weeks) depending on the host.

Question 3

Is the building neighbourhood important when choosing a short-term rental in Milan?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Location affects convenience, cost, transportation, and experience. For example: being close to metro lines, key business districts (like Porta Nuova), or major attractions (Duomo, Brera) adds value. Also check local noise, building access rules (many historic Milan buildings have regulations), and whether the area suits your stay purpose (business vs leisure).

Question 4

What amenities should I expect in a short-term rental in Milan?

Accepted Answer

Typical expectations include:


Fully furnished apartment (bed, sofa, table)


Equipped kitchen (or kitchenette)


Reliable WiFi (especially if working remotely)


Heating/air-conditioning (depending on season)


Clean linens, towels


Clear check-in/check-out instructions


Always verify these in the listing description and ask about any extra fees (cleaning, utilities, etc.).

Question 5

What are check-in and check-out norms for Milan short-term apartments?

Accepted Answer

Check-in time typically falls in the afternoon (e.g., 14:00-16:00 or later) and check-out is often by late morning (10:00-11:00) — depending on host policy. Because apartment turnover requires cleaning in historic buildings, early arrivals may need to wait until the unit is ready. Always confirm exact timing at booking.

Question 6

Are there seasonal price changes or best times to book in Milan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, demand fluctuates with tourism, business events (like Milan Fashion Week, trade fairs), holidays, and the general season. Booking in advance is advisable for peak times; off-peak offers better pricing but still ensure amenities remain consistent. If you’re staying for longer (a few weeks to a month) sometimes mid-season deals are available.

Question 7

What should I check on arrival in a short-term rental in Milan?

Accepted Answer

Upon arrival, inspect and confirm:


The apartment matches photos/description


All appliances, WiFi and utilities work


No hidden damage (take photos)


Safety devices are present (smoke/gas detectors, fire extinguisher if required) — hosts must comply with local safety standards.


Clear instructions for check-out, trash, recycling, etc.


If something is wrong, notify the host immediately.

Question 8

Are pets allowed in short-term rentals in Milan?

Accepted Answer

It depends. Some hosts/landlords permit pets (often small dogs/cats) while others prohibit them or charge a pet fee. If travelling with a pet, filter/ask specifically for “pets allowed”, check any extra charges or house-rules (e.g., noise, cleaning). Also check building regulations (some older Milan buildings may restrict pets in short-term rentals).
