Location, location, location. Beginning of the Navigli, end of the Ticinese, you could not ask for better location in Milan. We hunted for a cup of good cappuccino all over the city and little Tabacchi next to the house main gate turned out to sell the best. We hunted for a bar to have a nice aperativo and the best one was just next to the other main gate opening directly to smaller Navigli canal. We wanted to do some shopping and found that Ticinese beats both Via Torino and Corso Buenos Aires. We wanted some peace and yard of the apartment which was private street on it’s own, offered just that. Too bad we didn’t get to see our trusting host, Richard who had to be on an unexpected trip while we had the whole apartment for just ourselves. Thanks for the wine and all the tips you left on food, drink and everything else :)
