Silvia's apartment is beautiful, it is in an old building in the Navigli Grande area which is a great location to stay in Milan. It is lovely to be able to walk for 5 minutes and then be next to the canal with all the many bars and restaurants. It is also very close to Pta Genova Metro which makes it very easy to get into the centre of town.
The apartment is spacious, comfortable and very clean with high ceilings and beautiful tall windows. It is stylishly furnished and has art displayed in the lounge/ kitchen area and bedroom, as well as many interesting art books and books with information about Milan. The 2 bedrooms are large and all the beds are comfortable- including the sofa bed. The kitchen is nice and has everything you need. Silvia had kindly left the fridge stocked with plenty of food, milk and fruit juice which was a really nice suprise. We very much enjoyed eating our breakfast on the lovely sunny balcony. She had also left out robes and towels on the beds. There is everything you need in the apartment- including hairdryer and iron. Silvia and her friend Laura were great hosts and responded to messages quickly. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Milan- so much better than staying in a hotel and much better value!
