Marilena's apartment was absolutely perfect. We were in Milan for 24 hours and could not imagine a better place to stay. The apartment is incredibly close to the Duomo and the metro, it was both very easy to get to as well as a great jumping off point for a quick tour of the city. We didn't get to meet Marilena, but her housekeeper was there to greet us and helped us with everything we needed to get settled. Marilena was easy to communicate with before our checkin and even offered to arrange for a dinner reservation for us (which we took her up on.) Her neighborhood restaurant was lovely and we appreciated not having to figure out where to eat on a saturday night during the season when many restaurants close because the owners go on vacation. She was also communicative once we had arrived, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment is modern, quiet, excellent shower, great AC, comfortable beds, working wifi... I would definitely stay here again!
