We were so lucky to book Laura's apartment, we've visited Milan many times but never stayed in a better situated apartment with both the perfect interior (high ceilings, elegant decor) AND all the comfort (great mattresses on both the bed and on the sofa bed (I'm dying to know the brand to buy the same sofabed), all essentials in kitchen, lightening fast internet and smart TV, etc. etc.) one could ask for. Laura was so responsive and also accommodating of our timeline by fitting check in and out all on short notice. We've stayed all over often looking for apartments near the Duomo or near Porta Nuova, but this apartment set the new standard for the perfect location. It is a short walk to the best park in the world I've encountered for small children (Parco Sempione- especially the part with small cars at Parco Giochi Castello). It also has a fantastic selection of restaurants and I think the feel of a neighborhood occupied by real Italians/Milanese not just tourists. Will rent again!
