I absolutely loved my stay at Paola's place in Milan. It was in a great location, close to transport links and only a 20 min walk from the main Duomo square. The 16 tram stops right outside and I used this a lot to get about and make links when I wanted to travel further across the city, as well as for late night trips. As a female solo traveller it's important I feel safe, and I certainly did here. The neighbourhood is great and the building and access is secure so there are no worries there. There is a lift so I didn't have to struggle with my heavy luggage and it's really pretty too.
The apartment itself is clean and modern, with it's personal homely touches. There is a beautiful clean bathroom with a great shower which is just what's needed to wash those aches away from all that walking and city exploring. I ate out most of the time so didn't really find use of the kitchen but there's everything there if you need it (but with so many amazing restaurants, bars and cafes, why would you :) )
The bed is really comfortable and it's great waking up to a terrace and witnessing the city wake up too. There is a little street noise but nothing noticeable that would disturb your sleep.
Paola's place made my first trip to Milan really easy and comfortable and I'll be back again. Thank you Paola!
