Lucia's place was absolutely wonderful. It was just recently renovated, so everything was brand new and very tastefully decorated, without having knick·knack that just fill up a space without adding any charm. I loved the two balconies on either side of the studio. It made the apartment far larger than it seemed. And it was so lovely to go and sit and have your coffee in the morning and watch the skyline of Milan and sunrise in the morning, and when you came home in the evening, you could sit out and enjoy the skyline of Milan as it was lit up with nothing to obstruct your views.
The location was great. I walked to everywhere and personally didn't need to take public transportation, even though it was readily available just a few minutes away. Grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes were all nearby. So you didn't have to walk forever to get your groceries or have a great meal to eat. It was in a very safe and nice neighborhood.
The building has an elevator - so I had the benefit of the last floor, great view and no stairs to walk up to carrying my luggage. And as for Lucia, I can't tell you more about what a fantastic and truly charming lady she is. She made the place feel as if it was your home.
I will not hesitate going back, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend some time in Milan. I surely am planning my next trip and it will be back at Lucia's.
Lucia thank you for everything. I miss your place already.
With much appreciation
