My wife and I arrived in Milan late and by the time we reached the Apt., it was quite dark. When Alessandra came down to let us in she was extremely happy, upbeat, energetic. She was very gracious as she showed us the apt, helped us with directions, places to visit, to eat. There was much information in the apt. about stuff to do in Milan.
The apt was exactly as described. Lovely second story balcony right outside the bedroom. The weather was so nice we sleep with balcony door open. You can hear street noice from time to time, but that added to the excitement of being in Milan. Bus stop very close and metro about a 20 min walk.
Area around the apt appeared to be very safe. My wife and I were out on the street after dark and things were very quiet. A lot of dog walkers. The owners have thought of just about everything. One day it was raining and they had provided two umbrellas to use.
Also a fair amount of breakfast food was supplied as well. The apt was very clean, bed was comfortable. Very quick hot water in sink and shower. It was a very unique experience as compared to a hotel.
The day we left it was raining a little and we had a 20 min walk to the metro. Flbio brought his car over and drove us the the metro station. Even in the rush hour traffic. That said a lot, especially to my wife. She doesn't like to walk, much less in the rain.
So all in all a great place to stay. Nice apt and great owners. You will do well.
