Cinzia was a wonderful host, and the apartment was fantastic. Cinzia spent a lot of time with us on our arrival, telling us about areas of the city, where markets and restaurants were located, bus, tram and metro lines. She has a wonderful book of information about Milan and how to get around.
The apartment was clean, roomy for two people and had fabulous views from both terraces. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace both mornings, including a delicious fruit tart that Cinzia made and left for us! While there is traffic noise in the front of the apartment if the windows are open, it is very quiet when the windows are closed, and the air conditioning worked very well.
This apartment is located near the center of everything you need: easy walk to 2 metro stops, the Milano Centrale train station (and third metro stop), trams and busses. Additionally, in about 10 minutes or less you can walk to a small market for essentials (wine, bread, cheese etc) as well as into the Isola district where there is a lively restaurant scene, and some really good food (thanks for sending us over there, Cinzia!).
All-in-all, a memorable experience in a nice place with a great host. We hope to be back again!
