I booked a room at Crossing Manzoni based on the wonderful reviews. I'm an artist and appreciate beautiful design. Sadly, I did not have a good experience there. It is lovely, quiet, the bed and linens super comfortable and my room was decorated in what I'd call a minimalist contemporary style. My room shared a little lounge with coffee, tea, Milanese biscuits, water, and a microwave. The location is great, steps from the cathedral, the galleria and Rinascente. However for me, a woman traveling alone in an unfamiliar city, with only slight knowledge of Italian, it was the wrong choice. The website says the concierge is only there during business hours- I didn't realize that absolutely no one is there before 8:30 or after 6:30. Sean, the concierge who wrote me lovely emails, was not there during my short stay, but Sabrina helped me find a great restaurant and booked a taxi for me for my morning flight. I had to leave at 7:30 AM so I was on my own getting downstairs and outside but because I was concerned about the taxi showing up she gave me her cell phone number, which I appreciated. Little things like the key to the room not working well and a giant crack in the full length mirror, gave me the impression that some things are not well attended to. I don't normally write negative reviews but I honestly wish I had stayed somewhere that would have been more full service and I think potential guests should consider whether they want to stay in what is really more of a beautiful apartment.
