Donatella is a great host. The contact is easy and she makes sure you have all the information you need.
The flat is small, clean and has everything you need. Decorated simple, modern.
I love plants so seeing them outside almost every flat in the building (and almost every balcony in Milan) was nice.
We found the building quite interesting. It gave us a glimpse of real life in Milan- waking up to opera singing was extraordinary.
There's a lovely and quite busy restaurant downstairs (the noises stop by midnight).
The location is perfect- close to two train stations, metro station and grocery stores that will save you tons of money (especially Lidl and Carrefour).
Don't forget to water plants! We didn't expect summer in Milan to be so hot, it's a real urban jungle (check cupboards for sunscreen if you'll forget it). A day out at the lake is a great idea. Como, Garda, Lugano, Maggiore, there's many to choose.
It was our first time in Italy and we wish to go back again. Milan was a perfect choice as it has a lot to offer, also getting to other great Italian cities is easy (we loved travelling by train).
