Once you successfully identify the outside of the property and make your way through the hobbit door you will find yourself in a quiet, lush, shared courtyard. The house itself has all the amenities and though (as in much of urban Europe) there is not a lot of space, it's cozy and comfy, with two comparable bed/bath suites. When I had initially seen where the property is in relation to downtown I thought it might be far from all the action; on the contrary you will find yourself at the heart of Milan's liveliest neighborhood, easily accessible by public transportation. Ivana is attentive to every detail of your stay and will help you get acclimated. A truly memorable experience. FYI - have dinner at La officina-OMG!
