Valentina's apartment was truly awesome - bright, spacious, clean and very modern. The view from the balcony was fantastic! The location was good - while not central, the apartment is fairly close to a couple of metro stations and getting to downtown takes just 30 minutes. The only small issue we experienced was that we had to walk a bit to the nearest grocery stores (e.g. 10 minutes), but that wasn't a big deal. The neighbourhood seems to be brand new and I guess they'll open more shops and restaurants there down the road. We felt right at home there at Valentina's place and I'd highly recommend it to everyone looking for a nice place in Milan!
