The perfect apartment—Valeria's photographs barely do her incredible home justice. Light-filled, spacious, impeccably designed, with a floor to ceiling bookshelf and great art and design objects everywhere. Valeria wasn't in town when I stayed but emailed plenty in advance to ensure I'd get in fine, got her friend to collect my show invites in advance—he even cooked me dinner one night and drove me to the airport when I left. Not only is her house conveniently located (about a 4 minute walk from Republicca, where you can get a quick metro to the Duomo / other tourist spots), it's also super easy to reach from Linate airport—a single, cheap airport bus to Centrale and a 15 minute walk. Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Milan.
