Firstly, communication with Ric was excellent. Rona who met us and showed us around was lovely and very helpful. Ric’s apartment is small but has everything you might need for a short stay. I did find the hot plate rather hard to cook on because it was difficult to judge the heat, but we managed perfectly well with simple cooking. There was a gift of a bottle of wine to welcome us which was a thoughtful and very welcome touch.
It is in a good place for exploring the area. The metro is just a few yards away and it takes about 15 mins to stroll into Milano Centrale station. You can catch the metro into Milan to see the sights, or walk. It’s an hour to Lake Como which is beautiful.
