- March 26, 2012
In season 25 episode 63 of House Hunters International, viewers are taken on a journey with 26-year-old Helsinki native, Annaleena, as she searches for a new home in Milan, Italy. After studying fashion in Finland, Annaleena decided it was time for a change of scenery and packed her bags for the fashion capital of Italy.
The episode begins with Annaleena meeting her real estate agent, Denise, to discuss her search criteria. Annaleena explains that she is looking for a chic and modern apartment, with plenty of natural light, and a balcony or terrace with spectacular views of the city. She also wants to be situated in a vibrant area with lots of shops and restaurants to explore.
Denise shows Annaleena a range of apartments in different neighborhoods around Milan, each with their own unique character and charm. They visit a sleek and modern apartment in the trendy Brera district, which boasts large windows and a balcony with views of the city. Annaleena is initially very excited about the space, but the price is over her budget, leaving her feeling disappointed.
Next, they tour a sunny apartment in the lively Navigli district, which has a more bohemian vibe. The apartment is small but cozy, with a unique layout and a beautiful terrace. Annaleena loves the area and the layout of the apartment, but without a separate bedroom, the space is not ideal.
Finally, they visit a luxurious apartment in the upscale Porta Nuova district, which is within Annaleena's budget. It has modern appliances, a spacious living area, a balcony with stunning views of the city, and a separate bedroom. However, the location is a bit quieter than Annaleena had hoped for, and she worries that she might feel isolated from the vibrant culture she was hoping to immerse herself in.
After touring the three apartments, Annaleena has to make a tough decision. She is torn between the sleek and modern apartment in Brera, the charming yet small apartment in Navigli, and the luxurious yet quiet apartment in Porta Nuova. Each one has its own unique appeal, and Annaleena must weigh the pros and cons carefully.
In the end, Annaleena makes her decision, and viewers get to see her settle into her new home in Milan. She is excited to make the most out of her new adventure in one of the most stylish cities in the world. The episode concludes with Annaleena sharing some of her favorite local spots around the city, offering viewers a glimpse into life in Milan as a Finnish fashionista.
