We had a fabulous stay at Desire's place. The apartment is warm and welcoming, with everything you need for a short stay in Milan, and we loved how the place was decorated! There's a wonderful bar (Mint) just across the street with great music, good coffee, awesome cocktails and friendly waiters. The restaurant below Desiré's house - Platina - is delicious, with wonderful homemade pasta dishes at reasonable prices. There's a grocery store just down the block, and the place is an easy walk from Milano Centrale and not far from busy shopping streets and Milan's historic center.
Finally, Desiré was everything you could ask for from a host - she really went out of her way to make us feel at home - great communication, flexible check-in and check-out times, and even bringing us an extra set of keys. All in all, our stay at Desiré's place was wonderful, and we would love to stay here again next time we're back in Milan!
