When we arrived at the apartment we were warmly greeted by Maria Elena who gave us a tour of the flat and spent a considerable amount of time reviewing all of her favorite things to do in Milan. She left us with guide books, maps and contact lists for places to shop and eat. Additionally we were provided with contact information for friends and family in case of emergencies.

The flat matched the description and was even more charming in person. It is located, as described, in a glamorous and family oriented section of Milan with lovely shops and restaurants with easy access to all areas of the city.
