Emanuele was a warm and welcoming host, and the apartment was comfortable and just as described. Her generous provision of nice basic items like coffee tea cornflakes milk and biscuits helped ease us into our holiday. Milan was the beginning of our first ever family vacation to Italy and Emanuele’s apartment was the perfect base for us. It is so well located in a very nice part of Milan. From the balcony, we enjoyed awesome views of the sunset and the mountains in the distance. Whilst it is possible to walk to all the main tourist areas and back, we found that the great transport connections enabled us to get home quickly at the end of a long day out. The Repubblica metro station is right outside the apartment and the tram stop for line 1 to all the main tourist places is just 2 min down the road. We left Milan by train from Milano Centrale which is such an easy 10min walk away, mainly along wide walkways, which made rolling luggage easy. We are very glad we chose to stay at Emanuele’s place and wish her all the very best.
