Vito's apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay. From the communication to the location to the shower, this was exactly the reprieve we needed. He was very communicative with me before and during my stay and his colleague gave us a map with some great ideas of what to do in the city and how to get around. They were both available to us if we had any questions about the city or apartment during our stay.
My review broken out by the characteristics most important to me as a traveler.
LOCATION: Great location. Very close to the metro and the train station, so we didn't have to work too hard to get their with our luggage. It also seemed to be very safe at night. Was a short enough distance away from the Duomo and main Milan landmarks where it was quick to get to yet also far enough to live a little more like a local.
BED/SLEEP: Was very comfortable. It was a couch that converts into a bed. The mattress was very comfortable, and we both got an excellent night sleep. The sunlight is completely blocked out and you really don't hear much from the streets below. We even stayed during a major Italian holiday and heard nothing.
SHOWER: We never ran out of warm water. It is about as big as any other shower we had in Italy. Definitely an enjoyable shower experience.
I would recommend Vito's place to any friend and would happily stay there on a return trip to Milan.
