We arrived about 3 hours before our check-in time and Enrica's husband was waiting outside for us and allowed us to check-in early just as soon as the maid was finishing up cleaning. About a week or so before arrival Enrica contacted me with a ton of information about the area, how to get there an things to do. When I texted her she always replied within a minute or two. They even left us a bottle of Prossecco! Enrica and her husband were more gracious than we could have hoped for. I don't think there is a better location to stay in Milan. We felt so safe in the apartment itself, walking behind the main entrance was like entering a quite oasis in a cool courtyard. There is a grocery right downstairs. The Doumo is a 10-15 minute walk through a safe, clean area with sidewalks and the Navigli is even closer, only about a 5 minute walk from the apartment, which it makes great for going to dinner, going home to nap before walking back out for the beautiful night life. My older parents felt safe and comfortable going out on there own and my younger sister and I also felt safe being able to explore the vibrant night life on our own. The location is just perfect. Thank you so much Enrica and Marco. If I ever return to Milan this is the only place I wish to stay.
