The apartment is excellently located: It is in a nice part of Milan, the Brera district, just outside the touristic areas of Milan but within easy walking distance of the centre.
The apartment was immaculate with excellent facilities and every need catered for. I loved the raised bed! Barbara and Elena were most helpful and responsive in every respect. I was a bit worried about accessing the apartment, not being very technically minded, and Barbara and Elena arranged that the man who looks after the apartment to be there to show me the process - it was easy!
Barbara and Elena provided, amongst other things, a list of cafes, trattoria and restaurants where one can go. In the four days I was in Milan, I did not cook once and had breakfast every day at Panificio, a cafe, which is just around the corner. The staff were lovely and very friendly, as were all the Italians I met, who tolerated my attempt to speak Italian which I have been learning for six months.
I would highly recommend
