Mario was a terrific host. He was quick to respond to questions before we arrived in Milan, met us at the flat promptly and gave a nice overview of the neighborhood amenities.
The apartment is very large and recently renovated and everything worked well. It was very hot and the air conditioning was SO appreciated. Also the washing machine is the first one in Europe that I have used that worked incredibly well!
The only complaint would be that it is on a street that has a tram running by so that can be loud at night. The second bedroom is very quiet as is the living room/kitchen.
The tram to the Duomo is 1/2 a block away and takes about 15 minutes to get to the Duomo. We took the tram a lot so appreciated the convenience.
