Barbara's apartment was exceptionally clean and well presented, comfortable and with modern appliances and conveniences.
We arrived quite late on a very hot Thursday evening (after 11pm) from our flight but Barbara kindly waited for us at the apartment to show us in, also providing helpful directions on how to get there from Malpensa airport. She also kindly provided some basic food items (milk, juice, water, pasties) in the fridge for weary travellers.
Barbara was easy to contact and very helpful with our queries.
It is very close to the Parco Nord Milano, and we chose to stay there because we wanted to join the Park Run there on Saturday morning.
The apartment is a short excursion by bus, light rail or Metro north of central Milan (as long as the Metro drivers are not on strike!). There is also a small pharmacy and large Esselunga supermarket very close by.
There is efficient air conditioning in both the bedroom and the main living room which was a very welcome relief in the suffocating Milanese humidity in June!
