We loved the look and feel of the apartment - very modern in an otherwise charming old building that looks like something out of a movie. Very spacious and clean. Limited natural light means that some corners are dimly lit, but overall a nice apartment. Key pickup at Milan Rentals was very convenient and they left detailed instructions for getting to and accessing the flat.

A few issues: the washing machine was out of order, which was disappointing as it was one of the reasons we chose the place. The power went out twice in the building, which is obviously no fault of the owner, but was inconvenient (other than that, the air conditioning worked very well during some sweltering Milan days). Also, this is a rental apartment, as opposed to someone's residence, so it's missing some typical home items (i.e. wine glasses).

The building is in the heart of the Navigli neighborhood, which we loved. Very lively with many restaurants that cater to locals and tourists alike. Despite the activity, the building and flat were very quiet.
