Maria's loft is very nice and spacious. It has an industrial feel to it. We went there in the winter and it was very warm despite the high ceilings and big windows. It faces a nice courtyard and it is very quiet with a nice, cozy feel to it. There are two flight of stairs to reach the apartment (about 45 steps). It is extremely well connected to the center of Milan with two tram lines at least. You can walk to the Darsena and Navigli. Very close to the Bocconi University. Nice homemade pastry shop/bar nearby as well as small restaurants and coffee shops. Walking distance to the CONAD supermarket, all sorts of shops and laundry services around. The apartment comes equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher and big fridge. The kitchen is small but very nice and equipped with everything. We cooked few meals with ease. Maria was easy to reach and kept in contact via phone. Great stay.
