Where I Stayed in Milan

I love staying in apartments when I travel. It makes the city feel like home. Nothing offers a more local experience than shopping for food and cooking.

And there’s perhaps no better place to do that than in Italy, where the fresh fruit and vegetables have some of the most robust flavors in the world.

It’s easy to feel at home in an apartment like this. Our two-story penthouse was bursting with so much light that even a cold, damp winter day was inspiring.

While I love the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s really no price on coming back to something that’s calming and quaint. Our place was in the heart of Milan, on a quiet street just a 15 minute walk from Eataly.

10 days here was a dream. The only thing I wished was that I could take this enchanting apartment with me.

Too bad it won’t fit in my carry on.
