The property was as described. My 4 year old daughter & I stayed for a week here. Andrea was very helpful and accommodating. He met us at the metro so that we would have no trouble finding the property & he helped us with our luggage. Andrea was prompt in his communication responses with us. He made us a map to find places nearby too. The apartment was clean, tidy, and it had good energy. The kitchen was well equipped. Just ask him if you need something you can't find. It was very hot during our stay & the refrigerator quit working. Andrea replaced it as soon as he could. We were happy with the location & amenities. The clothes washing machine looks small but worked great. Andrea was only there to check that we were satisfied with our accommodations and he stayed at his other apartment. Andrea is a good host & I would recommend his property. We had a very nice woman share the apartment with us too. It was not a problem for us but I would like to point out that there is no air-conditioner or lift. This is noted in the apartment description. This could pose a problem to some people in the summer who are not acclimated to the heat as much as we are. Also, if you are sensitive to cigarette smells, the house & linens smell of smoke. Again, Andrea is honest & mentions in his description that he is a heavy smoker. These comments are not complaints. I felt safe in the apartment and safe in the multi-racial neighborhood. There are two kids play parks close by too. The complex has a security gate and the building is locked too. There is a Simply market near the Corvetto Metro station in a corridor behind the UPIM, that has anything you could possibly need. We arrived in Milan by train & had no problems taking the metro to the apartment. If you have luggage the Porto Di Mare Metro station has less stairs then the Corvetto station and it is easier to use if you don't know the area. It took about 55 minutes to reach the Expo by Metro Yellow and Red lines. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and I would recommend this property as an economical choice that met our needs and budget.
