LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!
I booked this apartment due to previous recommendations, and because the host seemed to go out of his way for his guests. I was not disappointed!
The location is perfect- around the corner from the Duomo, the Galleria, and the Metro.
It is a short cab ride to Milan Centrale- which makes it easy to travel to/from other cities for the day, or moving onward. It was also walking distance to some great local restaurants!
It is a very secure place, a locked outside door, an inner locked gate which gives access into a courtyard. The building has a small elevator, or for those not faint of heart- 4 stories to walk up, which was not bad. The apartment was clean and cozy. The AC and WiFi worked great! Though located in a prime area, it was very quiet with absolutely no audible noise in the evening.
Paolo was very easy to communicate with, and extremely helpful! He responds right away, and as I did have a problem with my phone and being able to do some things, he was very gracious to offer to help out and did so!
Grazie Mille Paolo!
Our next trip to Milano we will be sure to stay again!
