I can't think of a better place to spend your time in Milan than in Sara's apartment. The location alone makes it perfect– right in the middle of the shopping district, and a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. Even the San Siro is 2 metro or a 25-30 cab ride away.
Even being in such a central location, the apartment is always quiet and we got the perfect rest to prepare for a full day of sightseeing.
The room is a little on the smaller side but it never feels stuffy as both the room and the washroom open up to a bright and airy courtyard that really livens the room up. The room itself is very well decorated– chic, comfortable, and homely. It's great for a solo traveller or a couple.
Finally, Sara is a consummate host. She was in constant communication with me regarding check-in when I was having travel issues. Check-in and check-out was a total breeze. Sara also provides a notebook with basically all the important information you'd need to stay in the area and was always there to help. She also provides coffee capsules and tea and who doesn't love that?
Simply put, if this place is available, grab it.
