Tripolina is an outstanding host and so is her apartment! Unfortunately, we did not get to meet but she had someone waiting for us who helped us settle in. We kept in contact by phone and text, she was extremely helpful. The apartment is beautifully renovated (looks just like the pics online), rooms are large, beds are comfortable and it was stocked with all the necessities. It's just two blocks from the Metro, took 20 minutes to get there from Milano Central Station, and 20 minutes to the Duomo.
There is a great market around the corner and a good Chinese restaurant down the block (after 2 weeks of pizza & pasta it was a welcomed break). If you're planning a trip to Milan book it, we would love to go back! Also if you go to the area before the end of October 2015 make time for The EXPO, it is amazing, so much to see, great cultural experience for all ages!
