Traveled to Milan with another friend, and Elena's place was perfect. She was very responsive especially after we arrived in Milan , and incredibly charming in person. Gave us clear instructions about the apartment (we had no problem understanding her English), and was very welcoming regarding the surrounding area.
Her place is located in a lively neighborhood​ (gelato right across the street! 5 minute walk from the Cardona train station), but while you are inside the apartment, you can't hear a thing, which is fantastic. The apartment itself is huge and so clean and charming! Just like the pictures. We were very comfortable for our 2-day stay, and didn't want to leave. Overall, Elena was wonderful and I would highly recommend her place!
