Valeria was an excellent host. Communication was prompt before and during my stay. She met us at the apartment upon arrival, gifting us some candies and a bottle of wine. She gave us walk-through of the apartment and suggested some restaurants and activities to do during our stay. Very pleasant to interact with.
The apartment description and pictures are as depicted on the listing. It struck me as typical for the location and type of dwelling it is. It is well equipped with adequate space for two adults plus luggage. Larger parties may be a bit cramped. The low rumble of incoming/outgoing trains can be heard but I did not find that disturbing. It is part of city life and should be expected with only a ten minute walk to the station.
The unit is also Valeria's residence, she stayed nearby with family while we were there, so living as a local was a positive experience for me. Overall I was very happy with the accommodations, its ideal location for my purposes, its price, and Valeria as a host. If I do visit Milan again, I will absolutely consider another stay at her residence.
Also consider eating at the restaurant Ex Mauri around the back corner from the apartment and the Bosco Verticale towers. Food was excellent and absolutely loved the service and conversation provided by our waiter Massimo. He may be the owner, not sure. The experience was so good we had dinner there two nights out of our three night stay.
Grazie!!
