Lorenteggio-Piazza Frattini Balcony Apartment

Lorenteggio-Piazza Frattini Balcony Apartment Overview

First Impressions

The Lorenteggio-Piazza Frattini Balcony Apartment sits quietly on Via dei Fiordalisi, and honestly, I almost walked past it at first — it’s tucked into a residential building that feels more like where locals actually live than a typical tourist spot. This three-star place has that authentic Milan vibe where you’re staying in someone’s carefully curated space rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room. The balcony that gives the place its name? It’s small but perfectly positioned to catch the morning light with your coffee.

The Lorenteggio Experience

You know what I love about this area? It’s real Milan — not the glossy Duomo district where every other person is taking selfies. The Lorenteggio neighborhood has this working-class charm with tree-lined streets and actual Milanese families going about their daily routines. There’s a fantastic local market just a few blocks away where vendors still shout prices in dialect, and the apartment puts you right in the middle of all that authenticity.

Inside the Space

The layout works really well — it’s got that European efficiency where every square meter actually serves a purpose. The kitchen is compact but well-equipped (I mean, you can actually cook here, not just reheat leftovers), and the living area flows nicely into the dining space. The balcony becomes an extension of the main room when you throw those doors open, which honestly makes the whole place feel twice as big. The WiFi is solid, and there’s enough storage that you won’t be living out of your suitcase.

Getting Around

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s not walking distance to the major sights, but the metro connections are actually pretty good once you figure them out. The nearest station gets you to the city center in about twenty minutes, and I found myself appreciating the ritual of the commute after a day of sightseeing. Plus, you’re close enough to Navigli that evening aperitivo runs are totally doable. The neighborhood has decent parking if you’re brave enough to drive in Milan, though I’d honestly skip the car rental.

Why Guests Love It

This place works for travelers who want to experience Milan like a temporary resident rather than a tourist passing through. The 7.5 rating makes sense — it’s not perfect, but it delivers on the promise of an authentic Milan stay without breaking the bank. You’ll spend less here than in the city center hotels, and that savings can go toward better meals or that extra day trip to Lake Como. The balcony really does make a difference for your morning routine, and having a proper restaurant scene right in the neighborhood means you’ll discover places that most visitors never find.

  What could be improved: Brak suszarki, co jest niezbędnym wyposażeniem łazienki. Kran w łazience chyboczący, trudny do użytkowania. Mimo pralki w łazience, brak możliwości jej użycia.

• Very good – Marie from Lebanon – 22 May 2025 (8/10)

• Servizio pessimo. – Giusy from Italy – 26 September 2024 (1/10)

  Assolutamente niente.
  
  What could be improved: Check-in previsto per le 15:00 ma quando siamo arrivati non si può descrivere quello che abbiamo trovato. Le lenzuola sporche avvolte sul letto, materasso sporco,non avevano ancora pulito per niente la stanza. Siamo potuti entrare solamente dopo ore aspettando sotto la pioggia.E non avevano pulito nemmeno a terra. Mai avuto un'esperienza così negativa. Non vale minimamente i soldi pagati.

• Bad – Giuseppe from Italy – 27 August 2024 (1/10)

  What could be improved: La camera è stata lasciata con la vecchia biancheria sporca arrotolata sul letto. Ho chiamato il numero indicato in booking per le chiamate ma mi è stato notificato solo in quel momento che quel numero può essere utilizzato solo per messaggi. La macchina del caffè era sprovvista di cialde anche solo per il mattino seguente, e comunque le cialde non sono reperibili al supermercato, non sono comuni. Accendi fiamma per il gas non è presente. Lo scaldabagno era spento per cui si è dovuto attendere che l'acqua si riscaldasse. Le sedie del terrazzo erano sporchissime. Pessimo
