Vanya was a lovely host. He was very helpful and friendly. He welcomed me and managed to answer my questions from where to buy organic food to how to get a Taxi. The apartment is lovely. I shared with a friend and we were both had comfortable beds. I loved that the apartment had a bath, so I took advantage of this. It was decked out with everything most people want, espresso coffee machine, tea and herbal tea. good stove for cooking. I loved the japanese art work on the wall and also the art done by Vanya's grandfather, that was special. The location and the price is excellent. I was very happy with my find and even happier when I found out that it was a 5 min walk to the conference that I was attending! I will be definitely coming back again if I need to stay in Milano. I have also recommended it to others.
