My mother and I arrived in Milan, exhausted after a very long trip from South Africa. We could not have been met by friendlier, more sympathetic host than Karin. She was incredibly warm, kind and helpful and periodically checked in on us via text message to make sure that everything was in order and that we had everything we needed. The flat is lovely and spotless - exactly as in the pictures. Also a great space for two friends or family members traveling together: plenty of space to go around. My mother has some difficultly walking so we were very happy about the building's elevator (something we had some trouble finding in Italy -- especially in reasonably-priced accommodations). We loved the neighbourhood around the Naviglio Grande: I loved the vibey, atmospheric street life in the evenings and my mother the incredible antiques market (which takes place on the last Sunday of every month and which coincided with our stay). The apartment is very close to the Metro and other forms of public transport. Thank you so much for everything, Karin! We look back on our stay with fond memories.
