Staying with Matteo was an absolute delight! His apartment is really very stylishly decorated, spacious and feels homely and inviting. I had bedroom B with bathroom B for a whole week to myself and I couldn't have picked a better location and host in Milan. The apartment was spotless clean throughout and equipped with every little thing you might need for your stay. Plenty of towels available, duvets and cushions, a bathrobe, slippers, toiletries... it felt like staying in a 5-star hotel. Matteo has been the most welcoming. He cooked dinner for me several times during my stay, one night he even invited a friend of mine, who was also in town, over for dinner. He always made sure there was a sufficient amount of ice cream in the freezer :-) pre-booking communication was easy with him and he responded to messages very promptly. Once there, I really enjoyed our chats and discussions, it felt like I'm staying with a friend I've known for long. Matteo has been also very helpful to recommend restaurants, shops, places to go, ice cream to try - there is an awesome gelateria just across the road from his house. The apartment is very conveniently located by the Pagano metro station (a 2-minute walk) in a pleasant residential area of Milan. By metro you get to the Duomo/city center within 10 minutes. In case you'd walk, it will take you roughly 30 minutes to get there. I liked that everything was within easy reach but away from tourist crowds. The Corso Vercelli runs right in front of the house and if you're into clothes and shoe shopping, this single street will give plenty of reasons to go on a spree. There's also a great coffee place on the corner, and a supermarket nearby. All in all, I'd really highly recommend staying with Matteo when in Milan. A lovely, kind person with a truly nice place to stay at. I will certainly book with him again!
