Valeria's apartment is in a wonderful old building on the canal in the lively Navigli area. While it's on the other side of town from Milan Central Station, it's incredibly easy to get to the apartment on the M2 subway line, with just a 5-minute walk from the Porta Genova station. You'll find that there's a lot of nightlife along this canal, and it can be quite noisy at night, but fortunately the apartment has modern windows that almost eliminate the outside noise. We really appreciated the welcome snacks and drinks that Valeria provided - it was something that I've never had from another Airbnb stay. The air conditioning, washing machine, and dryer (yes, there's a dryer!) work very well. We did have a problem with the water heater, but Valeria helped us fix it in just a couple minutes so we wouldn't have to wait for a repair man. The biggest complaint I have is that there was only one set of keys. This can be very inconvenient if you are traveling with a friend and you don't always go everywhere together. While there were a few minor maintenance issues that need to be addressed, Valeria was a very attentive and thoughtful host, and I would certainly consider staying at her place again.
