Niko from Poland and Max from UK rented “Giulio” apartment for 10 months
“Hi, I’m Niko from Poland and I’m Max from the UK. We arrived in Milan 10 months ago to study at Bocconi. Rental Milan was really helpful, because we did not know what prices would be fair and the apartment we got was really nice and everything was included.
The apartment is located in a good neighborhood. We were able to make some friends and there are some supermarkets around. Also, it is a 10-minute walk to Bocconi University. There are many trams that are perfect if you want to go out during the evening”.
Good things about renting Milan from Rental Milan: clear pricing
“When I was looking for student housing in Milan, for the second year, I wanted to move in with friends. Unfortunately, Rental Milan didn’t have the time slots we were looking for and we noticed how hard it would be to find affordable housing due to many hidden costs. Because there wasn’t an available time slots for the time period we wanted, we had to change the time period for a different stay. A positive about Rental Milan is that you can rent for shorter rental periods and most things aren’t included in other places like the internet, so that was a problem – along with internet and agency fees with condominium. Sometimes at the end of the process you have to give back the apartment in the same state that it was and most agencies take it to the extreme for one small stain for 900 euros. Included in that, you need to pay ahead for a 3 month deposit. It’s great that you can rent for shorter periods from Rental Milan”.
Some useful Tips about Milan
“In Milan theres lots of useful things that you can do to make it easier here. For example, there are vehicle sharing opportunities like share and go, so if you have an international license for more than a year then you can drive a lot of other ones. I use car to go and its about 25 cents a minute so it does work out quite cheaply. There are also lots of bike sharing apps. One is called motorbike and that is about 50 cents for half an hour, so it is really good value. Also Glovo when it comes to food deliveries or just anything from anywhere”.
Rent Apartment Milan long term
“Hello everyone! I’m Emma from Moscow and I’ve been renting Otty apartment for one year. I’m a student and I’m very happy with the apartment and everything works perfectly. Its very cozy, and very quite surroundings and very safe so I would recommend it to everyone. The Italian team are very caring of the landlords, so I recommend to rent it. Thank you. It’s a 2 minutes walk to Bocconi. My lessons start at 8:30 and I would leave home at 8:30”.
My name is Alexander. I stayed in the Port Romana and rented an apartment in milan long term (for a year and a half). It’s ten minutes away from Bocconi and the apartment was really good and when we needed something there was always help so it was really good. Thank you.
Hi my name is Diego. I’m from Mexico and I stayed at Susy apartments for almost 10 months. It’s a really nice apartment, if you’re attending Bocconi, because it’s a 20 minute walk and tram 15 takes you to Bocconi. It’s comfortable that she lives in the same building so she is ready to help. It’s a really good area if you’re studying at Bocconi and if you need student accommodation Milan.
Bocconi University Student from Spain
We are from Spain and we have been staying here for four months and we go to Bocconi University. We walk 10 minutes to the tram and it’s about a 40 minute total commute and we like the area because it’s far from the centre. It’s 10 minutes away and you have a lot of nice restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops. The house has been very comfortable for 2 people. Even though its small, it has a lot of space and we have air conditioning and a heater in each room. We also have a washing machine that has been useful.
Hi my name is Julianna and I’m from Miami, Florida. I’ve been renting in Milan for about a year and I went to Politecnico di Milano for fashion. I was living in the Misia apartment and I really have to say nothing but amazing things about Siim and this apartment. It’s very cozy and it surprises you with everything that you need with living there for a year. It is such a convenient location. It’s by metro stations. Very comfortable student housing Milan and could not be anymore grateful for this. Thank you. The commute was 30 to 40 minutes, but Milan is very close together.
Hi, I’m Erin from turkey and I study at IED. Hi, I’m Francis from Turkey, as well at IED studying graphic design.
Good things about this house is that it is really close to the metro station, so it is easy to get to anywhere you want because the metro is really fast. We also have a bus 7 minutes away that can take you to school. We have a tram really close by; it is almost near our supermarket. With the tram you can go anywhere. We went to Verona. The fact that we had air conditioning helped a lot because it’s really nice. We had really fast internet and everything that someone would need. There is only one room, but we stayed there with only the 2 of us. We stayed there for about 9/10 months.
ING Worker from Netherlands who stayed at Cesar apartment
My name is Farina and I’m from the Netherlands. I have been staying in the Cesar apartment for six months and I moved here for work and I’m working for ING and I’ve had the best time ever in this apartment and this city. This is the best area to be in. The parks and subway are close by and you can walk around safely in the evenings. Everyone is helpful and this apartment is really clean. I truly believe its an amazing place to be in.
I come from Barcelona, Spain. I stayed here in the apartment for six months and it was really great because it was in the hood of Navigli district. This neighborhood is so full of life and I will enjoy staying here because it was also so close to my university, the Catholic University. I also had to take the train for only 3 stops. The apartment was so nice and clean. It was full nice to stay in.
Hello, I’m Ottavia Tagliavini, your local personal assistant, the manager of this website since 2007 and the owner of the apartment called Otty. How can I help you?

Good day, Ottavia,
Let me remind you, I am Milica Damjanović’s mother. I want to thank you for the nice cooperation over the past two years. You were there for our girls whenever they needed help, and you provided me with additional relief by knowing they were not alone in another country and city. You carry out your work very responsibly and professionally. You have my warmest recommendation to all my friends whose children may wish to study in Milan.
Once again, thank you; who knows, maybe we will collaborate again in the future.

My son loved the apartment. Was as described and quite cosy and lovely. We felt safe and Ottavia and Mrs. Jim were a pleasure to deal with. Grace who we were connected with for weekly cleaning was also a delight- on time, always smiling and thorough at her work. Thank you so much to all of you.

I stayed in Milan for 4 months (Sept-Dec) while I was studying for one semester at Bocconi. Ottavia was helpful in the initial process, and Jim was always on call to support us if anything went wrong. The location of the unit and pictures are all accurate, the only thing that was unexpected as an international student was the policies about heating in Milan. The heating gets turned on around late October/early November, but the temperature can go down to below 15 degrees before that at night. Even after November, the heat turned off from 11pm-5am each day. Because of this, I purchased a small portable heater to use at night time. A few weeks after I left, the landlord claims from Nov 6 - Dec 20th my heater went 150€ over the normal electricity bill and would deduct this from my deposit. However when they sent us a copy of the electric bill, the charge clearly shows €250 for the period of Oct 1- Nov 30th. The usage for November was double the amount in October so by that calculation, 250/3, October would be €83, and November would be €166, and the true deduction should be €83. In Canada, my household of 5 people who use heating in the winter, our electricity bill does not exceed $100CAD in the winter, so this was unexpected for them to claim I went €150 over (the average monthly bill) in November and December. Then, they changed the argument to say that we went over all three months (Sept, Oct, Nov). When September and October are clearly at the same levels of the average before we moved in. In that case it is not all inclusive as they advertised. After going back and forth, they said they will request all of the bills and the landlord will ask for additional payment on top of the €150. They did not provide any further clarification on the specific justification for the charges in each month and I did not get to speak directly with the landlord. the communication was very confusing. As a customer I do not feel like there was good explanation and overall ended my experience badly.
Update: Ottavia has reached out to me several times to support on this case. The landlord didn’t provide any additional documentation, but Ottavia offered to refund the difference if i could fix my review. I didn’t accept any payment because it has already been several months and I still want to share my honest experience. I think overall I would recommend renting with her agency, everything was perfect besides this hiccup at the end. It’s my only hope to give curious customers a heads up in case to be mindful about!

I had stayed in Milan for more than one year for my Master study and I’ve stayed in an apartment offered by RentalMilan, which was good in condition, accurate as described and execellent service. Highly recommend to people who are having a long stay in Milan :)

The place was the definition of a home away from home.
Cosy, quite and a personal space that gives you an opportunity to make the best Memories.
Ottavia really helped us at every step from settling in to moving out.
She helped us out with every service and took excellent care of us. Found us solutions to every problem we faced during our stay. The entire time was very memorable and overwhelming.
A very genuine, kind and helpful agent, always ready to help us out.
Overall we loved the days we had in the house "Napoli". I would taken this opportunity to thanks for the warm servics and care provided by Ottavia. :)

Ottavia was very helpful and my experience was very pleasant. I didn’t have any hassle when getting in touch with RentalMilan, I stayed with the accommodations agency for my entire years visit in Milano. I would mention that the agency fee is expensive BUT in all honesty if you don’t know a landlord personally to agree a contract, the agency fee will always be expensive and considering the all inclusivity of the service I cannot dispute the prices as they were reasonable. If I was new to Milano again I would definitely use this service.
Hope this helps!

I used Rental Milan for a 10-month apartment rental while I was doing my MBA at SDA Bocconi, and the service was great. It is ideal for it's flexibility and the apartment had everything I needed from the first day. If you're looking for a short-term lease for school, I recommend it.

I would recommend Rental Milan to anyone moving/studying in Milan. Ottavia is super professional and helpful. She is very responsive to emails and organized. You feel you are in goods hands when dealing with them and it makes the move much easier. Best of luck
