Marina is a wonderful host! The apartment is charming and the gardens outside are beautiful. She and her daughter in law, Silvia, were very accommodating in helping us get settled. Silvia gave us her contact information to call her if we had any troubles. We had a difficult time figuring out how to operate the washing machine, and Silvia and her husband came late at night to help us get it started! Lovely people and a lovely place to stay, would highly recommend to anyone staying in Milan. :-)
