We came to Milan for business and decided to stay at Paolo's apartment. He was very cordial to deal with and would respond quickly to any queries. The neighbourhood is about a twenty minute metro ride from The downtown. And stored and restaurants are not that convenient. If you don't have a car, that could cause some inconvenience. The apartment itself is very interesting, it seems to be from the late 60s early seventies exhibiting modernist Italian architecture. The bathroom and kitchen cabinetry seem to be original as well. Overall, we felt like we had walked into a movie. The evidence of past occupants was everywhere. I feel it could use a little love but it has a lot going for it. A large main living area, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Although the second bathroom has a very small tub in it, that may not work for some. We weren't able to get a second set of keys as the previous guests had lost them, but it proved not to be a problem. The apartment wasn't necessarily what we had expected, but we couldn't dismiss it either. There is something really beautiful about how 'locked in time' it feels. We were not unhappy but a few minor upgrades it would make a lot of difference.
