Location location location. Wow this place is a true hidden gem. The traditional huge wooden door opens into a unexpected charming and sunny courtyard with picturesque blooming flower boxes. Everything about the exterior screams Italy and you feel like you are living a local experience . The location is perfect, bustling with life, your pick of good food and shops all near the canals ( which I never knew existed in Milan ) but still quite enough for a great nights sleep. The most wonderful thing about this apartment is Suria ( I am sure Renata is wonderful too but we only worked with Suria ) who just could not do enough for us and truly wants her guests to have a great experience. I felt like I had a trusted friend in Milan who was there to answer any question and help with any concern. It is a great find - book this place right away
