I went to Milan for the Milan Design Week as I was exhibiting at Ventura Lambrate. I chose the "Wonderful 2 rooms wifi airbnb of Marie as the location was perfect for me and the apartment brand new ,- and a wonderful experience it was!
Even before arriving in Milan my absolutely lovely host Marie gave me advise how to best get to her apartment. She met me there and with a 'welcome espresso' she explained everything about the apartment and the surrounding neighbourhood, shopping, transport to city and even had printed out maps ready. She was always contactable and happy to help if anything was needed!
The apartment is secure, spotless and brand new, with a big balcony and lots of light coming in (motorised block out blinds in the bedroom if you like it dark) and a view to an old church tower. The kitchen has everything you wish for, a nespresso machine and even a dishwasher. The bathroom is perfect, stylish and with a heated towel rail. The bed in the main bedroom was super comfortable and the morning light came through the white curtains (I did not close the blinds) which made me happy to get up every morning. There is a brand new wardrobe with lots of space and of course brand new iron and ironing board too. In the living room is a TV and excellent working wifi and a fold out sofa for 2 more guests, table and chairs and all opens out to the big balcony that spans the whole apartment.
There is a bus (No 54) right in front of the buildings entrance that gets you to the Duomo (city centre) and a very short walk to the Metro green line , which also connects you to anything in Milan. In the street towards the church is a bakery (about 150 m away) that opens early in the morning and closes late at night . There is a super market next door and the big esselunga super market a little bit further (still easy walking distance) away. There are some excellent pizzerias and seafood restaurants around too. I found the apartment, the location (which is a bit more quiet and not right in the centre) and Marie wonderful and I certainly will come back to her to stay again!
