I stayed at Christel and Davide’s place for a month this summer - had a great time and would throughly recommend their lovely apartment.
The apartment is very well equipped and clearly recently renovated in a thoughtful and comfortable manner. Everything is very stylish and tasteful - it feels like an exclusive boutique hotel.
The kitchen has lots of pans and utensils, salt/pepper/olive oil, and the two hobs/toaster-microwave work well, so is perfect when you feel like eating in. The organic + vegan snack basket was also much appreciated! The bathroom is luxurious, with a powerful shower (with gorgeous smelling shower gel/shampoo) and includes a great washing machine and drier. There’s lots of good books in the apartment, a great speaker, and a TV with loads of channels and Netflix. The bed is very large and comfortable, with a sturdy staircase, but it can be slightly nerve-inducing going up in the middle of the night.
Location-wise, the flat is perfect - it’s in the Porta Venezia area, a couple of streets away from a lovely park which you can walk through to reach the centre of Milan (it’s about 15min to Duomo). The street the building on is vivacious - very light sleepers might be bothered by the tram during the night, but it wasn’t a problem for me at all (and C&D provide earplugs in any case/the shutters give good sound insulation).
Christel and Davide are both very friendly and accommodating. Communication was great and check in/out was flexible and hassle-free. Their home-made guidebook was really helpful and I felt very comfortable reaching out to ask any questions. The Porter and other residents of the apartment block are also very nice and welcoming too.
All in all, a great stay - thank you so much Christel and Davide!
