Donata's flat is what we dreamed of: a plunge into the typical old Milan of the Navigli, one of the most characteristic parts of the city. The apartment is part of the experience: it is old, charming and simple. This was a kind of houses and part of town where the workers used to live back in the day when the canals were still an important waterway for the city. The apartment is cozy but a bit rough, in winter you might need slippers for the floor is a bit cold (we like to put our shoes off); it's great assets are its beauty - every detail shows the aesthetic sensibility of the owner - and its location. It is central (you can reach Piazza Duomo by foot and it is a most interesting walk), a 10 minutes walk from the subway, it is in a hang out district and nonetheless, when you step into the yard, it is very quiet. The communication with Donata was smooth and kind, we have nothing to complain of and felt very welcome in her world. I recommend it to all travelers who appreciate originality and beauty.
