Patrizia responded right away to our reservation request and was helpful sending recommendations on places to go and places to eat - we enjoyed restaurants San Maurizi, gelatieria Della musica (new location behind the duomo), Da Bruno, Princi bakery and Giulio Pane e Ovo.
The apartment is spacious and modern, clean and pretty well stocked, centrally located near Missori metro stop (metro is easy to use). August is pretty quiet in Milan with many stores closed for holiday, but we saw several museums and churches.
Patrizia was on holiday when we arrived and her associate, Steve, met us and arranged for our taxi on departure day. We were able to meet Patrizia before departure to return the keys. Everything went smoothly.
