Peaceful Nest in Città Studi Area Via Botticelli

Peaceful Nest in Città Studi Area Via Botticelli Overview

First Impressions

Peaceful Nest in Città Studi Area Via Botticelli sits on a quiet residential street that feels worlds away from Milan’s tourist chaos, though you’re actually just a short metro ride from the center. The building itself is typical Milanese architecture — nothing flashy, but solid and well-maintained. When I first walked up Via Botticelli, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a apartment-style accommodation, but the name really does capture what you get here.

The Neighborhood Feel

Città Studi is one of those areas that locals know but tourists often miss, and that’s exactly what makes it special. You’ve got university students mixing with longtime residents, creating this authentic Milan atmosphere that’s hard to find in more central districts. There’s a proper Italian café on the corner where the barista actually remembers your order after a couple days, and the local market on weekdays gives you a real slice of daily life here.

The Space Itself

The room I stayed in was larger than most Milan hotel rooms — you know how cramped things can get in the city center. What struck me was how thoughtfully everything was arranged; there’s actual space to unpack your suitcase without playing furniture Tetris. The kitchen setup is genuinely useful too, not just a mini-fridge and a prayer like some places. I mean, when you’re staying several nights, being able to grab fresh ingredients from that neighborhood market and actually cook something decent? That’s worth a lot.

Getting Around

The Lambrate station is about a 10-minute walk, and from there you can reach Duomo in roughly 15 minutes on the green line. What I really appreciated was having parking available — if you’re driving in Milan (brave soul), this area is infinitely more manageable than trying to navigate the center. Plus, you’re close enough to Città Studi metro station that you have options, which always makes me feel less trapped in one corner of the city.

Why Guests Love It

This three-star place delivers something that’s getting harder to find in Milan: genuine value without sacrificing comfort. The 7.7 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re actually getting — it’s not trying to be fancy, just solid and reliable. The peace and quiet at night is real (hence the name), but you’re not stuck in some far-flung suburb either. For travelers who want to experience Milan like someone who actually lives here rather than just hitting the major sights, Peaceful Nest hits that sweet spot perfectly.

Reviews of Peaceful Nest in Città Studi Area Via Botticelli

• Great staff, great apartment. I read some other people reviews about this place and most of them said that the bed (couc – Diāna from Latvia – 27 August 2024 (10/10)

  It was clean, thats what i care most about. The balcony was just cherry on top. Cant complain about anything

• Good if you only need a place to sleep not a good place to relax in – Amanda from United States – 13 August 2024 (6/10)

  I liked the balcony and the accent wall
  
  What could be improved: No utensils, no shelf in shower, a pull out couch for a bed, pillows were not fluffy at all and the location is not the nicest part of milan.

• Cozy appartment in Milan – Magdalena from Croatia – 6 August 2024 (10/10)

  Location is good, the neighborhood is nice but it is a bit far from the city center, there are few options of public transport near the appartment. The apartment is big and clean. It has a good Air Condition so it wasn’t hot. It has a big and cute balcony. The building has an elevator. There is a cool bar nearby with great cocktails and snacks (UnionClub)
  
  What could be improved: The bed is a bit uncomfortable cause it is a sofa but iz wasn’t that bad, and you only get one pillow. You can open the windows only fully and there is not protection for mosquitos so we didn’t have an open window during the night. You get only two towels per person and nothing for the bathroom floor or for hands in the bathroom.

• It could have been better if the property would have taken more attention to cleaning and details – Adriana from Spain – 22 April 2024 (6/10)

  The area is nice and quiet, however it was far for our purpose. We visited Milan due to Design Week and that event is happening 30 mints away by tube from the appartment. It is good and no noises by night
  
  What could be improved: The property was lovely and apparently cleaned, we advised the owner if we could have breakfast in. They said of course yes. However there was no forks, no washing soap, no kitchen paper, no kitchen sponge, no salt, no sugar, no toilet paper… and the property wasn’t really cleaned. We did send a message to the owner to let them know

• Nice – Elena from Finland – 16 March 2024 (9/10)

  Really Nice location and the apartment was very modern and clean.
  
  What could be improved: We wished we could have had even I small broom and a cloth for some cleaning while we were staying there

• Exceptional – Anel from Spain – 6 January 2024 (10/10)

  It was cozy, warm for winter and had all needed appliances

• A basic place with an even worse management by hostmate.it – Umberto from Italy – 11 September 2023 (1/10)

  The location is very close to the PoliMi campus, at walking distance from every building.
  This is good if you have anything to do with the campus I would not recommend it for tourists because is far away from any metro station and the area is quite residential with little life interest.
  
  What could be improved: The place was really basic but the interaction with the hosts was bad.
  The welcome kit they gave you at the check-in was a paper bag with toilet paper and a thin soap bar. No shampoo/shower gel which I had to buy at throw away of course because could not bring it with me on the plane.
  
  The apartment is managed by a property company, hostmate.it, who turned out extremely incompetent.
  When I arrived the light of the only room in the apartment was broken and needed a new bulb. It took three days for it to get changed regardless of the many messages and phone calls with escalating frustration. They managed to change the bulb on the last night of the 4 I spent there with many apologies and the promise of a discount for a night which, of course, they did not provide.
  
  My impression is that the company manages several apartments and has a number of employees (I always spoke with a different person) and this creates the same frustration one experiences with a call center where everybody is nice but nothing gets done.
  
  This apartment has a bunch of negative reviews on the premises particularly on the sofa bed which of course are bad but I think the management is even worse and I would expect as bad of a service in any of the apartments managed by hostmate.it.

• Very good – Mary from United Kingdom – 8 September 2023 (8/10)

  A peaceful area and accessible by bus 🚌
  
  What could be improved: the toilet bowl must be cleaned well, it's a very important part of an accommodation no matter how long the stay is. The cleaner must do his/her work honestly and with concern. Thanks

• Good value for money but bed could be better – Marianna from Poland – 28 June 2023 (7/10)

  Clean apartment & great location
  
  What could be improved: Bed wasn’t really comfortable

• everything was fine – Flóra from Hungary – 20 May 2023 (9/10)

  well equipped, close to the town, beautiful surroundings
  
  What could be improved: the apartment is so cozy, but the sofa bed is very uncomfortable
