Lorenzo was a charming, generous host. He was also very kind about giving us privacy - I sometimes felt like he was living in our flat rather than the other way around! I particularly appreciated how he left a shelf in the fridge stocked with milk, juice & yoghurt just for us, and how he put out a tray for our breakfast every night, as well as a fruit bowl of bananas, apples etc (useful for snacking during long days' sightseeing). Lorenzo also recommended some bars and restaurants which was useful.

The location of this flat is surely unbeatable in terms of centrality and nearness to Milan's most famous sights (less than 10 mins walk to Duomo). It's the financial district, however, so don't expect thrilling bars or trendy restaurants on your doorstep.

It's a beautiful flat and Lorenzo had thought of nearly everything. The bedroom (a living room at other times) has wardrobe space for guests and the double bed (pull out sofa) is decent. It does overlook a restaurant which can be noisy but only if you are going to bed early (we didn't).

I would wholeheartedly recommend the "art flat".
