While in Milan for our 25th anniversary, my wife & I stayed at Susanna’s apartment. It’s location is excellent, minutes from Milano Centrale train station. There are two Metro stations close by and a trolley runs on the apartment street; couldn’t be better, if you need transportation. However, once we arrived by the train, we walked everywhere we planned on visiting from the amazing
Monumental Cemetery to the must-see Duomo. Again, the location is excellent.
The apartment is well supplied. Kitchen, bath and bedroom supplies were adequate. We ate almost all our meals there, and didn’t need anything else. The bed is comfortable, as are the furnishings. I do wish there had been better reading lamps in the living room, but that is a very minor point, and only worth mentioning if you want to relax with a good book, otherwise, it shouldn't be a problem.
Susanna was very responsive to our needs. She was willing to allow us early arrival and later departure times. She also directed us to the neighborhood shopping offerings. Furthermore, she indicated a restaurant across the street, where we indulged in a last night meal--it was superb; I wished we had eaten there the first night so we could have returned again during our stay. One note: as any savvy traveler knows: pack ear plugs if sensitive to noise; here, the restaurant can get loud until midnight and the trolley starts running early. I DID NOT resort to using my ear plugs, but could understand somebody’s need for them.
If we ever return to Milan, I will try to stay at Susanna’s apartment again. For us, it was almost perfect, and she’s such a wonderful person. Thanks so very much for sharing your lovely apartment and giving us memories to last.
