As some of the other reviews mentioned, Andrea's apartment is what can only be described as an extremely stylish bachelor pad (saying that, we were two girls and we thought it was super cool). Furthermore, the location really can't be better (you're right in Piazza Vechia). We picked up the keys from his family cafe which is on the other side of the Piata (1 minute walk). His mother was very sweet, hospitable and prompt. The heating in the apartment worked miracles (we had frozen in the previous apartment in Milan). Indeed, there were some noise on the street around 2 AM as youngsters were returning home from clubbing, but I think this is expected from an apartment that is located in the very center of Citta Alta. Can't wait to return and stay longer!!
