Paola's place was great. It is located in an area with lots of sidewalk cafes and a short walk to the metro. The 2 bedrooms are in the rear of the apartment and overlook the courtyard so street noise is low. Communication with Paola was quick so we didn't wait long for answers to our questions. The woman who checked us in spoke little English but it was not a problem. We asked for additional sheets to split the twin beds pushed together. Within a few minutes she had retrieved some. Beds were comfortable, which is not always the case in Italy.
My two friends and I were in Milan when it was hot but the apartment was ok inside. We closed the steel shutters when we left every morning to keep heat out and returned late at night. The apartment would be stuffy but the air conditioning ran long enough to make it tolerable. Americans like it cooler inside than Italians, maybe because electricity is cheaper and we are a more wasteful society.
The apartment was well furnished and we had everything we needed. Cold water was in the fridge, tea and coffee were also available. We did not do any cooking but would have been easy to do so.
I highly recommend this apartment.
