This place was marvelous in every way! Alexandra was a sweet and gracious host and explained everything very clearly in English (we speak no Italian). The apartment was spacious, clean, well-stocked with everything you could ever need, and was filled with charming decorations. The beds were comfy and the location incredible - just a short walk to the central railway station. The neighborhood was full of family restaurants, shops, and site-seeing destinations. Alexandra wrote out a lengthy list of the nearby shops, sites, bars, restaurants, etc. and was also very helpful in telling us how to get to her place from the airports. Communication with Alexandra was very strong throughout the entire process. She always responded quickly and answered all our questions thoroughly. This is the only place we will ever stay in Milan. It’s a real gem!
