​Located on the third floor of a lovely, old building in an elegant, historic, residential neighbourhood of Central Milan, Stefano's flat was perfect for my business trip.

It is in close proximity to Cardona Station, within comfortable, walking distance of all major sights of the city - Castello Sforzesco, Parco Sempione, The Last Super, Duomo - and well-connected by tram, metro and taxi. There are also supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and shops in close proximity.

The single bedroom apartment itself, is well-appointed with a small entry vestibule; open-plan kitchen with gas oven, cooktop, refrigerator and dishwasher; spacious living and dining area with TV and wi-fi; large bathroom with tub, shower and washing machine and comfortable double bedroom which overlooks the street.

Although not air-conditioned (there is a plug-in portable unit available), the high ceilings and parquet floors ensured that the interior was very comfortable. Especially in the chilly month of October, where a warm duvet is welcome, this was not at all a problem.

Tall windows with a view to the beautiful, tree-lined avenue of Vincenzo Monti, also add to the light and ventilation of the rooms.

Although typically easily accessed by an elevator, this was being renovated during my stay. However I was happy for a bit of daily exercise and on arrival, Stefano was extremely kind to insist on carrying my suitcase up three floors!!

The tram which trundles along the street outside with a regular efficiency, is a little bit noisy but this was not a problem for me as I am used to city sounds. In addition, the windows do have a solid, black-out shutter which would work well for anyone who prefers to be more isolated.

As a host, I can see why Stefano is highly rated. His consideration for guests, discrete availability, organisation and attention to detail are much appreciated. He got in touch a few days before my trip to ask if there was anything particular I needed and I reached after a long and tiring journey to find a friendly host, clean, well-maintained space and a kitchen already stocked with essentials.

I wouldn't hesitate to rent this apartment again or recommend it to another guest! ///

Stefano è stato un buon ospite con un appartamento carino. È nella zona molto elegante a Milano vicino Stazione Cardona, Castello Sforzesco e Parco Sempione, il Cenacolo Vinciano di Leonardo e il Duomo e tanti negozi.. Anche se può camminare facilmente nei questi luoghi, ci sono anche tram, taxi e metro, molto vicino.

Ci sono anche supermercati, ristoranti, bar e negozi nel stesso posto.

L' appartamento ha una cucina, un salotto, un grande bagno, camera matrimoniale e è molto comodo.

Prima del mio viaggio Stefano ha chiesto se ho bisogno di qualcosa specificamente e ha provato a assicurare che non mi manca niente. Io apprezzo la sua cortesià e disponibilità discreta durante il mio soggiorno.

Non esito a suggerire questo appartamento a qualcuno altro e sarebbe un piacere per me a abitare ancora lì!
