Mario and Katha's place was exactly as described and better! There are lots of restaurants, stores near by and make it very convenient. It is also not very far from the train station or the Cathedral. The elevator made carrying luggage upstairs much easier. There is also Air conditioner in the house, which is a rare find in Europe! The apartment itself was very clean, and stylish. neighbors are very quiet. I very much enjoyed my stay. Both Mario, Katha, as well as Susana were very helpful, and quick in response to all the questions I had. I definitely recommend their place to anyone who is visiting Milan.
