We really enjoyed our stay at Silvia's apartment. It is about 20 minutes away from the Duomo (i.e. the main tourist area in Milan), but only 10 minutes' walk from the main train station, which meant that it was easy to travel to other parts of Italy.
Plenty of amenities in the apartment itself - it would have been useful to have an empty drawer or cupboard somewhere to store our clothes, but other than that, it was a perfect base for a short trip to Milan!
Check-in nice and easy - Silvia's friend Elisa gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants. Check-out equally easy - we had a 7pm flight, and it was very helpful to be able to leave our stuff there until late afternoon.
Thank you, Silvia, for a lovely stay!
