Karin was very receptive to any questions I had before our arrival. The flat was easy to find from the Metro station (Porto Genova stop). The Navigli neighborhood is a GREAT location to be in! Vibrant, lively, young. To some it may appear too transitional. The building itself is old of course but very clean and very quiet. The flat is large and rooms are generous size. Bathroom is long and narrow but fine for one person at a time. Great water pressure. Bed super comfortable, decent linens, again very clean. Very nice tiny balcony looking over the canal. We had no issues at all. It is only a few Metro stops to the center of Milan. This was our first time in Milan and we stayed two nights. We wish it was longer! Karin is an excellent host and our experience in her flat and this neighborhood more than met our expectations.
