Michele is the perfect host - friendly, helpful, chatty and speaks wonderful English. If you want to meet a local to understand the culture, he is your man! I loved all the small touches he made to the room to make it nice for me and to make me feel welcome. His is a very comfortable and well presented apartment and well appointed for access into the city and to local restaurants and canals. A truly wonderful experience! I would stay here again if I revisited Milan. Ciao Michele! X
