There are so many great things to say about our experience in Milan - where to start? Daniela was a great communicator before we arrived and flexible to meet us when we got to Milan by train! The apartment is wonderful. Well designed, lots of art, spotless and filled with goodies, from a bottle of procecco to pasta, which we cooked one night. And of course espresso! Daniela has laid out brochures, maps and interesting reading and (important for us) two umbrellas! The neighborhood is perfect for walking around, nice, safe and offers great little restaurants, bars, and cute shops. The walk to the Duomo is about 15 minutes, maybe just 10 if you don't take any pictures... anyway, I am rambling... Don't stay at a hotel when you got to Milan - stay at Daniela's apartment!!! I know we will again!
