Marbella's place is in an elegant, historic building. It is immaculately clean with many touches that add to the stay -- scented soaps, chocolates by the door, coffee and snacks in the cupboard for breakfast. The location is superb for seeing many of the sights, even on a very short stay. We were in Milan for only one night to catch an early morning plane from MXP. The Malpensa Express train to the airport was a minutes walk from the apartment, so it made our stay incredibly convenient. There is no shortage of restaurants, cafes, and bars in the area, plus a walk through the castle and grounds is just out the front door. Mariella was very communicative and made certain there was someone there to greet us on arrival. We will definitely book again for a longer stay in Milan!
