I could not have asked for a better host during my stay in Milan! Ilaria was hospitable, helpful and always available over text/the phone if you need any recommendations or instructions about navigating the neighborhood. The apartment is in the heart of a lively area in Milan (lots of people hanging out at night) and I had no problem finding great meals and places to shop within walking distance. It's less than a 10 minute walk from the Duomo which was a very central location. The apartment itself was lovely, awesomely decorated and comfortable — and there are great views from all rooms! Ilaria also left cookies, coffee, tea, breakfast, etc. for me to enjoy during my stay. I could not recommend her place more, and I will certainly be back next time I come to Milan.
