Michele's lovely wife met us at the apartment and showed us around, also leaving us a bottle of prosecco (while Michele was very kindly looking for us on his bike...we took a while to get to the apartment as Milano centrale is a huge station, our fault entirely, thank you and sorry for the delay guys!!). The apartment is fantastic, newly renovated, pretty an very well located. I slept on the sofa bed and it was honestly one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on. They also left all the basics in the kitchen like coffee, sugar, oil etc. Isola is also a fantastic area. It's not at all touristic ( but irbid very well connected and you can get to all the sights very quickly and easily) and I've stayed there before to visit friends. We were also greeted by a lovely local market just outside our door when we left the apartment on Tuesday. There are many great restaurants (e.g. Vecchi Sappori) and bars within the area too. Overall I'd definitely recommend a stay here!
