Communication with Sergio was always easy even if I didn't meet him personally in Milano.

His apartment is in a beautiful, popular, not too touristy, district of the city, surrounded by boutiques and restaurants. You have to climb many many stairs to get to the flat, so that is something you have to be aware of before deciding for this place...but on the other hand it makes a good free gym after all the good Italian food.

The apartment itself has beautiful, modern furniture, a very nice bathroom, a comfortable bed. The door to the balcony of the living-room didn't really close well, which made it quite a loud place to be in, but I guess this is just a temporary issue.

If I may criticize/suggest two things, it's on one hand that the flat is very full 'of stuff' and on the other hand that a bit information on Milano is missing.
To the first: Of course, I understand that the flats in city-centre have a very limited amount of space...still it would be nice to have a place to put your own jacket/clothes once you arrive and not to have to put everything on the sofa. Biggest issue here was the kitchen, in which I had to empty some of the drawers of their content (cutlery, spoons and more cutlery and spoons and knives and knives...) to be able to completely open them. On the other hand there was only one wine-glass ;)
To the second: I know this is not a must, but it would have been nice to find a map and some recommendations on Milano or the surroundings of the apartment...

One definite plus of the flat is its incredible terrace on which I enjoyed breakfast on the last morning! This, I am sure, proves Sergio's green thumb and must be a pure delight in the warmer months!
