We had a wonderful stay in a centrally located, super clean, cozy and well maintained Milano apartment for our Christmas holiday. Mauro is an excellent host and responds immediately (or within and hour - he was very accommodating with local recommendations and assistance); the building is an apartment complex in a popular piazza (Piazza San Carlos in Downtown Milano - located in the heart of all the shops - a true shoppers paradise - walking distance to the famous Duomo within 3 to 5 minutes). The building is very secure and no need for a rental car at all. The slight cons - you must realize you are in a downtown area with associated noises and crowds. These are the positives and negatives of “living” in a big city. If you open your windows late at night, it might not be 100% silent like you would expect if you are in the country… and in the winter if you are cold all the time this place is for you as it’s heated really well. Definitely stay here and enjoy Milano, the shopping and the Duomo! 🇮🇹
