Michele's apartment was a gem! It was a pleasure to stay there and I found it hard to leave. I was welcomed with a warm greeting by Michele's girlfriend Christina. She went over all the necessities- locking and opening doors, internet connection, how to turn on the stove and turning on the shower. Things work different from country to country so stuff like that often matters. I later Met MIchele and he was very polite, friendly, and open to conversation. The apartment itself was just as pictured and extremely clean. Great water pressure btw. Just an 8 minute walk to the underground metro (Porto Venzia) and another 10 to the city center by metro. On your walk you will notice plenty of shopping, restaurants/cafes, bakeries, gelaterias and bars with delicious authentic food (not like the bland and overpriced food you will find near the tourist area.) Check out was easy and convenient. I come to Milan twice a year and I look forward to staying with Michele again. Overall was a great experience.I would recommend the apartment.
