Elena's place was great and I don't have a single complaint about it. Elena contacted me two weeks before my trip to arrange check in and provided instructions which all occurred as planned. When we arrived, the place was very clean and well organized. The place is updated with all needed amenities and the washer was an added bonus which we found useful since this was the second stop on our European trip. Elena even provided some extra wine, water, juice and breakfast snacks if we wanted. My only regret is that I did not get to meet Elena to thank her for her hospitality. The area was safe to walk around and had well lit streets. Elena's place is in a convenient location where the Metro train station was closeby to go to Milan central station and to the Domo, a must see sight. The area had a charming wine cafe that we wandered into for our last night in Milan. I'll definitely be staying at Elena's place again if I visit Milan again.
