Maria's apartment is the perfect place to stay when you visit Milan. It's in the heart of the Naviglio Grande area, which is really lively and lovely. The apartment is located next to a canal in a street with tons of restaurants and bars. In the weekend the street is packed with people: very nice and buzzy. If you want to avoid the crowd and relax in the apartment, just close the windows and it's very silent inside. The apartment is very big, comfortable, clean and neat. It has a beautiful old Italian look and atmosphere. It's like your own little house for a few days: it really feels like home. The contact with Maria is very good, friendly and fast. She makes sure you have everything you need: from some yummie cookies till' good restaurant tips. She is very helpful, friendly and communicative and takes time to answer all of your questions. Even when I experienced a technical problem during my booking, she did everything that was in her power to help and solve it. Her husband welcomed us at the apartment, even though we had a very late flight. We really appreciated that. The location of the apartment is very good, a 5 mins walk to a metro stop and a 2 min walk to a rental bike docking station. The bikes are a great way to explore Milan, try them!! We had a great time in Milan and especially in Maria's apartment. We would absolutely recommend this place for short or longer stays. It's a lovely apartment on a very nice location with a great host. What else do you need? Go there! We would definitely come back here again, we loved it!! Thank you for everything Maria!
