We are a family of 5 adults that has been traveling through Europe. Milan was one of our favorites and Anto & Paolo's apartment played a big role in this regard.
First, I have not found hosts that are so quick to respond and communicate, who are helpful above and beyond what is expected, and who are generous with their time. They truly made it a magical experience for us.
The apartment itself is practical and efficient. It was perfect for our needs. The apartment building has a charm all it's own and we would sit outside on the walkway to have some wine and take in the plants and flower views. With two elevators it made it real easy to take our luggage up, but honestly, we only used it for the luggage, the rest of the times we just climbed up the steps (we like the exercise). We felt safe and secure both in the building and the area. As the list shows, there is no air conditioning, but the fans provided did a great job of keeping us cool and we did not have any problems sleeping even though the temperatures during the day were in the 90's.
The area could not be more perfect! Right by the huge park of Sforza Castle, and a couple blocks away from the Arc della Pace. You do not want to miss that, the street leading right to the arc is an amazing collection of restaurants and bars that was a lot of fun (be warned, use mosquito repellent during June). If you walk through the beautiful park you'll pass a roundabout and be at a main shopping street. The further you walk the more you want to keep going because a short distance away from this street is Ill Duomo and the Galleries shopping area. Pretty spectacular. We walked over there about 4-5 times in a week. So much to see and do. (don't miss the unique and gigantic Starbucks near the Duomo!!!)
We highly recommend this apartment and if in town again we will definitely stay here without hesitation.
