Raffaella and Marco are perfect and charming hosts, anticipating my needs at every turn, and I had such a great stay at Oab that I extended my trip three times.

The apartment is a real pleasure to stay in—a chic little pied-à-terre that's especially perfect if you need to get some work done while you're there.

The quiet courtyard keeps the neighborhood bustle at bay, but just outside is one of Milan's most active neighborhoods, with everything you could need at your doorstep, including some of Milan's best food and drink spots.

It's also directly at the entrance to the Porta Venezia station, so you're just a few stops from everywhere else in the city.

A great experience, start to finish, and I hope to return before too long.
