Maria is such an excellent host, very accommodating and quick to help. She was there during check-in to get us orientated to her place and the city. She gave us great local restaurant recommendations. The place is in a great central location in downtown Milan, and 5 min from a metro station. We were able to walk to everywhere within 15-20 min (Milan Cathedral and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II). Her apartment is exactly as pictured. Very clean and spacious. Her pantry and refrigerator were stocked with breakfast items, which we were thankful for. We really enjoyed our stay here. We highly recommend her place to anyone visiting Milan!
