The apartment looks exactly like in the pictures, the patio and the building too. The building itself was much photographed during the design week (the time of our stay there). The apartment was showed to us by Bruno, as Martina was busy. He explained everything and showed us around, and stayed available to us during the whole stay. We communicated with Martina via mail before the arrival and via text messaging during - and the communication went smoothly. The apartment is cosy and has everything one needs for a comfy stay. The apartment is very clean too. We had a friend staying for 2 nights with us, and 3 people had no problem with the space or comfortability in the place. The apartment is directly in Via Tortona - the heart of the design district with the Metro station just couple of steps away to take you down town or the central station. Be ware though if you are coming within the design weeks - this area is a very lively one with everything happening on the streets late in the night, so if you're looking for something quiet -than the whole area is not for you, but if you bring your walking and dancing shoes and want to be in the middle of the things - you'll have a hell of a time - as we did! Thank you Martina & Bruno!
