We really enjoyed the apartment. It is in a fantastic location with easy walking access to the Centro Storico through the beautiful Parco Sempione. At night the Arco della Pace is lighted up and adds to the ambience of the nice neighborhood. There is a small grocery store around the corner (Carrefour Express), and a pub (Pils Pub) with good beer nearby. There are several nice restaurants nearby as well. Margherita was fantastic about communication with us.
The apartment is beautiful and in a great location. Furnishings are lovely. We appreciated the use of the washer/dryer. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well.
The biggest issue was not with the apartment but, rather, the work being done in the stairs (late September 2017). Aside from this, our review would have provided 5 stars. The stairwell was dusty and filled with equipment and bags of cement. In addition, the apartment door was blocked by scaffolding on the morning that we checked out. I had to duck under the scaffolding to take out the trash and recyclables. When we all left the apartment with our luggage, the workers were accommodating, moved the scaffolding and even carried several pieces of luggage down to the courtyard.
We would definitely choose Margherita’s apartment on a return visit to Milan.
