Maria's apartment is situated right on the Naviglio Grande, and has a lovely view of the canal and the people walking. The apartment is very comfortable and exactly as advertised. There are bars, bistrot, and even a gelateria within steps of the front door.
We arrived late due to a late train, so Maria had to come from work to find us and let us in. She is delightful and very welcoming as she quickly showed us everything before dashing back to work. There was a fully-stocked kitchen with everything you could need including groceries and fresh fruit on the table! That was especially helpful for early morning breakfasts and after long days of walking when we were too tired to go out again, even just downstairs.
The apartment is about 250 meters from the M2 stop at Porta Genova FS, which was great for getting to destinations all over the city.
A couple of things some travelers might have concerns about, though they were not problems for us: the apartment faces a busy, vibrant street full of nightlife. There will be street noise until very late. Also, the bedroom has glass doors with only sheer curtains, so there is a lot of light and perhaps less privacy.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay, it was exactly what we wanted for our trip, and we would stay again.
