Love at first sight - What a magical first Airbnb experience !

We were greeted with a very warm and friendly Italian welcome by our lovely young hosts Cecilia & Giorgio. We fell in love with this lovely vintage style apartment as soon as we came through the door. Cecilia & Giorgio have it decorated beautifully and we could not fault anything. They really have a eye for decor and style !. It was spotlessly clean, and the bed was so comfortable we slept so well during our 3 night stay. The area is very quiet at all times.

The outdoor Terrace and porch area were just beautiful and we enjoyed a glass of wine out there each evening between the torrential downpours ! We were not lucky with the weather during our trip but coming home each day to this wonderful apartment really compensated for the rain !

We did not walk to the Duomo as the weather was so bad but the public transport was very good and we were downtown in a couple of minutes. We found the area to be very safe and it was nice to be outside of the bustling city center of Milan, I would highly recommend this apartment you will not want to leave !. Note there is no lift in the building and you will be kept fit by climbing the 60 steps to this wonderful oasis !

You can read about the places where we ate and drank in if you read our review in the guestbook in the apartment.

A day ticket for 4.50 is good value if you want to do a bit of sightseeing outside the city center, which we did when we visited the lovely NAVIGLI area which can be accessed by Metro: Porta Genova (green line)
Navigli is known for its restaurants, cafés and bars that stand shoulder to shoulder along the streets lining its canals. It is a fantastic place to people watch, anytime of day. The neighborhood buzzes with life after dark, it is a well known nightlife hotspot in the city. You need to purchase a separate ticket to get to the airports as the trip will not be covered on these daily tickets. Our ticket to Linate airport only cost 1.50 and the stop is about a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

Many thanks to our lovely hosts for a memorable stay in Milan in their beautiful apartment. It was a fantastic introduction to our first Airbnb experience, and one that will be hard to beat going forward !

Ciao and greetings from us both in Ireland
