JOIVY Lovely and Inviting flat with balcony Overview

First Impressions

JOIVY Lovely and Inviting flat with balcony sits in the Porta Vittoria neighborhood — honestly, it’s one of those spots in Milan that locals know but tourists often miss. The building itself is typical Milanese residential, nothing fancy from the outside, but that’s actually what I like about it. You’re staying in a real neighborhood, not some sanitized hotel district.

The Neighborhood

Porta Vittoria has this authentic vibe that’s hard to find closer to the Duomo. Via Bergamo runs through a genuinely residential area where you’ll see Italian families doing their daily shopping and kids playing in the small parks nearby. The metro connections are solid — you can reach the center in about 15 minutes, but you know what? Sometimes I’d just walk because the streets here tell Milan’s real story.

The Space

This three-star apartment feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in typical accommodation. The balcony is small but functional — perfect for morning coffee while watching the neighborhood wake up. The kitchen is actually well-equipped, which surprised me because many Milan rentals skimp on the basics. I mean, you can properly cook here if you want to save some euros or just enjoy those amazing ingredients from the local markets.

Living Like a Local

The room setup works well for the space — nothing groundbreaking, but thoughtfully arranged. What really sold me was how quiet it gets at night, despite being in the city. The neighbors are respectful, and the street doesn’t get the tourist foot traffic that keeps you awake in more central areas. There’s decent parking nearby too, though honestly, you won’t need a car much in this part of Milan.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or designer furniture — it’s a straightforward place that does what it promises. The value is solid for Milan, where accommodation costs can get pretty ridiculous. You’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough away to feel like you’re actually experiencing how Milanese people live. The balcony might seem like a small thing, but after walking around the city all day, having that little outdoor space makes a real difference.

Reviews of JOIVY Lovely and Inviting flat with balcony

• Beautiful apartment in fantastic location – Vivek from United Kingdom – 24 October 2025 (10/10)

  Large rooms, kitchen and living room. Location is excellent in central Milan.

• 2 semanas em Milão – Sérgio from Portugal – 28 September 2025 (9/10)

  Muito boa localização perto do tram (3 min a pé) e zona calma e segura. Apartamento muito grande e com boas varandas.
  
  What could be improved: A limpeza poderia ser melhor

• Disappointing – Osvaldo from Italy – 7 July 2025 (4/10)

  What could be improved: L'alloggio è privo di aria condizionata, si sconsiglia vivamente il pernotto durante i periodi caldi. Ne consigliamo l'installazione al gestore

• Very poor – María from Spain – 2 July 2025 (2/10)

  What could be improved: No tenia aire acondicionado, ni jabón ni nada.

• A great apartment Milan – Andy from United Kingdom – 29 October 2023 (8/10)

  The flat is a good size for a family. I believe it is a conversion of two smaller flats into one. There are 2 good size bedrooms, 2 nice bathrooms and a decent kitchen. The beds were comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: There were two things that were not great. The first is that there is building work being undertaken in the building next door, which started every morning at 6. This is clearly not the fault of the property, so I won't mark them down for that, but rather annoying none the less. The second was that the front room smelt strongly of tobacco smoke. The rest of the flat didn't so again this is a minor issue.

• Good – Antonio from Italy – 10 July 2023 (7/10)

  dimensioni della casa e la camera da letto

• Alojamiento muy comodo, nos resulto excelente en nuestra estadia en Milan. – Eduardo from Ecuador – 30 June 2023 (10/10)

  Muy bien ubicado, transporte publico en la puerta de la casa y estacionamiento de pago en frente.
  
  What could be improved: No tuvimos bolsas para separar la basura, faltaron algunos productos de limpieza para la cocina.

• Horror. Zeer onaantrekkelijk verblijf vanwege bouwactiviteiten vanaf 6 uur 's ochtends, – Edwina from Netherlands – 20 May 2023 (1/10)

  Nothing. This is a very unattractive accommodation, which I would not recommend even my worst enemy.
  
  Niets. Dit is een zeer onaantrekkelijke accommodatie, die ik zelfs mijn ergste vijand niet zou aanraden.
  
  Niente. Questa è una sistemazione molto poco attraente, che non consiglierei nemmeno al mio peggior nemico.
  
  Nichts. Dies ist eine sehr unattraktive Unterkunft, die ich selbst meinem ärgsten Feind nicht empfehlen würde.
  
  What could be improved: Construction activities next to the flat cause a lot of inconvenience. From 6 o'clock in the morning you are in the middle of the noise. In addition, the flat is very noisy and you can hear the upstairs neighbors walking, talking and watching TV. When we complained about this to the landlord and Booking.com we were not called back, although we were promised to. This was the worst accommodation we have ever booked. Don't go here.
  
  Bouwactiviteiten naast de flat geven enorm veel overlast. Vanaf 6 uur 's ochtends zit je middenin de herrie. Daarnaast is de flat heel gehorig en hoor je de bovenburen lopen, praten en TV kijken. Toen we hierover een klacht indienden bij de verhuurder en Booking.com werden we niet teruggebeld, terwijl ons dat wel werd toegezegd. Dit was de slechtste accommodatie die we ooit geboekt hebben. Ga hier niet naar toe.
  
  Le attività di costruzione accanto all'appartamento causano molti disagi. Dalle 6 del mattino sei nel bel mezzo del rumore. Inoltre, l'appartamento è molto rumoroso e si possono sentire i vicini al piano di sopra camminare, parlare e guardare la TV. Quando ci siamo lamentati di questo con il proprietario e Booking.com non siamo stati richiamati, anche se ci è stato promesso. Questa è stata la sistemazione peggiore che abbiamo mai prenotato. Non andare qui.
  
  Bautätigkeiten neben der Wohnung verursachen viele Unannehmlichkeiten. Ab 6 Uhr morgens sind Sie mitten im Lärm. Darüber hinaus ist die Wohnung sehr laut und man hört die Nachbarn im Obergeschoss gehen, reden und fernsehen. Als wir uns darüber beim Vermieter beschwerten und Booking.com wurden wir nicht zurückgerufen, obwohl es uns versprochen wurde. Dies war die schlechteste Unterkunft, die wir je gebucht haben. Geh nicht hierher.

• Exceptional – Botodorov from Bulgaria – 27 April 2023 (10/10)

  Апартамента беше много просторен на добра и тиха локация. Близко до много добри заведения и барове. Много близо до центъра.

• Good – Oriane from France – 9 February 2023 (7/10)

  Quartier très agréable, avec tous les commerces, facilement connecté au centre ville.
  Beaucoup d'espace dans l'appartement.
  
  What could be improved: Le four et four micro-onde ne fonctionnaient pas, et ça n'a pas été réglé alors que nous l'avions signalé.
  L'appartement est aussi assez bruyant : l'immeuble est mal isolé et on entend les chasses d'eau des voisins ainsi que l'animation sur le terrain de sport voisin.
