Guido's place is an excellent opportunity to enjoy Milan and travel to other places without wasting time, and have a good rest at home.
The flat is located in a busy area, but its location in the building perfectly shields you from the city noise.
The flat is very compact, but provides you with everything you need to relax or serve your needs. The kitchen may look tiny, but it is capable of much more than opening a bottle of Italian wine.
This time we wanted to avoid renting a car, and it worked out very well.
Milano Centrale is within a walking distance, or a few minutes by bus, so making a daily trip to Genoa or going to the Bergamo airport is easy.
The “Lima” metro station is even closer, the metro is incredibly fast, and takes you anywhere you want. One day, when the weather was especially good, we walked to a park, then saw an Art gallery, then — a nice building, then helped a couple from France to find their way, and found out that we almost reached Duomo on foot, and had much fun in the process.
The big shopping street — Corso Buenos Aires — is close to the flat. You can buy anything there, from delicious ice-cream to a fashionable leather jacket. There are a couple of groceries and wine shops in the vicinity too. There is a shop in Via Plinio which sells traditional Italian food, there’s always a queue in front of it. There is a good bar right in the building.
Guido is very responsive; his instructions are clear and useful. We are thinking about coming back to his place in a different season. *****
