Maria’s apartment in Milan is perfect in every way. It is centrally located just a few blocks from the Duomo and countless other sites. It is a short walk to the Metro. There are tons of restaurants all around. It is set on a small, quiet plaza. There was no street noise. There is an elevator up to the 4th floor apartment. The apartment itself is bright, clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The clothes washer was super helpful since we had been traveling for a couple weeks. Her apartment is truly a gem in the heart of Milan. And, Maria herself, is a person of integrity — kind, honest and responsive.
