Vanya cheerfully greeted us at the door at check-in time. He graciously offered to help us carry our (heavy) luggage up to the apartment. It was a great welcome, especially such long travels. The apartment looked exactly like the photos and everything was neat and in order. There was tea, coffee, butter, jam and other goodies available for our use.

There were three of us and we had adequate space for sleeping and eating. The terrace was very cute with four chairs and a table (I think the photo may have extra side seating, but didn't see those on site). It was nice to sit out on the terrace in the evening, with some tea lights and wine. A very relaxing way to end the day of travel.

The location is great, it is a short 5-8 minute taxi ride from Milano Centrale. There are many restaurants and two super markets within walking distance. We even found a canal just beyond the larger supermarket and had a lovely stroll along the water.

The apartment is cool and quiet. Although if you sit on the terrace in the day, you will hear the voices of men below enjoying their own company. It added a nice charm to the whole experience.

Dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator were all clean and in good working order. The iron is a bit tricky to get going, but worked fine. The ironing board is outside on the terrace. There was even a charger for our Apple devices, which was a HUGE help, since we had not obtained a converter yet.

Unfortunately, we left pizza boxes in the fridge. We weren't sure on where the outside trash container was located. I sent Vanya a note and it was fine with it.

Vanya was very attentive and available to us quickly when we had questions. He even sent a nice follow-up note after we left.

Overall a great experience. I recommend for friends or a couple traveling to Milan.

Viaggi felici!!
