We loved staying at Davide and Marcella's place. It was convenient for all our activities in Milan. Public transportation is close, but we drove around for the week. Davide was kind enough to warn me about the "Area C" tickets, which cost €5 a day to pay the Milan congestion tax, but the tickets are like €75 a day if you don't. Rent a hybrid, then no charges at this time. It was also great to have free parking, as they so ticket and tow cars parked illegally. We would happily stay there again.
