Elena and Roberto did a wonderful job of making me feel welcome in Milan.

Roberto gave me keys and a great tour of the apartment right when I arrived. Elena was happy to offer suggestions and help plan things to see and do around the city. She plans tours to the United States so her English is quite good and you'll have no problems communicating if you don't speak Italian.

The Navigli is a great lively area with many restaurants and bars available as you take a wonderful walk around the canal. There is no shortage of options in the neighborhood and The Duomo, Sforzesco Castle, and the Last Supper are all only about a 20 minute walk away.

The room is exactly as described, with a wonderful view, and a desk available as well if you like. I will happily stay again when I return to Milan!
