Simone sent someone to meet us at the airport with the keys - from there, it was a short train ride to Milano Centrale + 10 minute walk to the apartment. He was very responsive to our questions.

The apartment is centrally located to a good number of the sights, and was easy to get to and from. The cafe a block away was so delicious, we ate there every morning. Simone also provided a portable wifi that we could plug in and use, as well as take outside (although, since we had data in Italy, we never used it).

Apartment notes: the bathroom is just a bath - no shower head holder. The apartment is on the second floor, but for Americans, that means the third! We had trouble following Simone's instructions initially because we forgot that we label the floors differently :)
