Karin was an amazing host. She stayed in touch with us prior to the trip and made sure that she was at the apartment to meet us when we arrived. She gave us a nice tour and explained how everything worked. The apartment is in a very hip gentrified area of Milan and a three minute walk to the metro and the trolley. Around the corner is a huge artisan market of cheeses, bread, gelato and much more and it was open until midnight! There were multiple restaurants on the canal behind the apartment. The apartment itself was very nice, with a well equipped kitchen and a very comfortable bed. There was plenty of hot water in the bath and very good wifi. The only complaint I would have is that there were a few nights where street noise woke us up, but it did not keep us up. Karin checked in with us everyday to see if we needed anything and to inquire about our vacation. She was so helpful and willing to offer ideas and suggestions for meals, transportation etc. We would happily stay in this apartment on our next visit to Milan!
