It's obvious from the pictures that this is a beautiful apartment, and so we went with the expectation that it would be a beautiful base to explore Milan. What added to the experience was the charming welcome from Max, his positive energy and enthusiastic tips even helped revive our hangovers a little on the last day. He and Olga have created a stunning and modern oasis in a classic, old building over looking the courtyard. It's very conveniently located near the station and filled with useful extras like soap and spare toothbrushes. I regret that I've started writing this while I'm dying in the 36° heat because my brain is too hot to find the words to do this apartment justice, it was a total dream to stay in.
