We loved Maria’s apartment!!! It was absolutely beautiful and so quaint! It was exactly as pictured and in such a fun area of Milan. Absolutely spotlessly clean. The air conditioning was a wonderful bonus. We had no trouble with noise from the street keeping us awake at night. The apartment was farther away from the sites we visited than hotels/apartments in the city center, but once we figured out the metro system, it was super easy to get around. Maria was such a gracious host. She was very helpful; offering suggestions for good food and always available for questions. We would definitely recommend her place and definitely be willing to stay here again!
