What a gem! What makes this place extra special is having both the conservatory and the outside area. The outside area is surrounded by jasmine so I should imagine the scent in warm weather will be fabulous. Plenty of wardrobe and bathroom storage. The kitchen and prep area is small but all very manageable and in terms of kitchen equipment there was everything there that we needed. The apartment is located in a quiet side street but was only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the Duomo and all the main sights. It is also very secure. There are many restaurants within walking distance but we also found Pecks food store which was on the way to and from the Duomo and which has the most upmarket ready meals I've seen anywhere! Fabulous, not cheap but fabulous. I can recommend their ravioli with any of the jars of sauce which made for a very easy dinner back at the apartment. The host's parents live across the hallway and were available for any issues, not that we had any. They were very welcoming and provided many thoughtful touches and welcoming provisions. Should we find ourselves back in Milan, we would happily stay here again.
