Elena's apartment is stylish, clean and perfectly located between Brera and Porta Nuova. The area is a cool and arty/design-led part of town, close to many restaurants, bars, shops and metro stops. It is safe, picturesque and very convenient - we walked everywhere!! (It is about a 15-20 minute walk from the busy centre of town so is close enough to all the main sights, but is also outside of that area so it feels very calm and much less touristy). The apartment itself is quite small with a small double bed, but perfect for 2 people on a short weekend stay. It is tastefully decorated with modern furniture and fittings and Elena has provided all amenities including kitchenware, bathroom toiletries and a Nespresso machine, as well as guidebooks for a thoughtful touch. The apartment is part of a charming residential block inhabited by local Milanese. Elena herself is a great host and very efficient in terms of communication. She responded to all our questions prior to, and during, our stay very quickly and made sure that we had everything we needed. Although we didn't get to meet Elena, our check-in and check-out process was very quick, easy and convenient. Elena also gave us a list of personal restaurant and bar recommendations in the area. The apartment is true to Elena's description and exactly what we expected. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend staying here!
