WOW! Do not hesitate! This apartment by far beats a characterless hotel room at an almost certain higher price. As many have commented before me, this place is identical to the photos posted - actually, it's even better for real. A very spacious sitting room with open-plan kitchen with all mod cons (dishwasher, etc...) - walk-out balcony, large bathroom/WC with bath and shower unit (towels provided) and lovely bedroom. Easy access, in a lovely neighbourhood - restaurants on your doorstep (Max very kindly made our restaurant reservation when we arrived late one evening). Also, there's a fabulous bakery for breakfast/brunch just around the corner. On Thursday morning we had EVERYTHING you could imagine (fish, fruit, vegetables, clothes, shoes, bags, the lot!) in the street market just outside the main door. If you're lucky, you can find a parking space, otherwise you can use one of the nearby car parks. The Duomo is an easy, max 10-min. walk. For my next trip to Milan, I will definitely put Silvia and Max's apartment on top of my list for accommodation (just hope it'll be free!!).
