Roberto's flat is a very nice place to feel like a resident of Milano : it's in a traditional milanese house called "ringhiera" situated in a large and very quite courtyard. The apartment is very functional, recently arranged with a very good taste. All you need, and more, is here ! At home, I don't have a dishwasher, so I appreciate very much to use it in order to have much time to discover Milano.
This apartment is very well located : it’s near the Garibaldi’s station where the train arrives directly from the airport, it’s also near the tram stop (1 minute walk) to go in 10 minutes to the Duomo (tram 12 and 14) and in 20 to the Navigli (tram 14).
I was a little bit concerned to stay in the Chinese area, but you can also find italian food shops, and in the Via Fauché, there is a very big market with fresh and inexpensive vegetables, ravioli, Italian cheeses, etc. In the same street there is also a very big supermarket if the Carrefour Market situated via Sarpi is not enough for you. I also recommend La grotta dei Formaggi, Via Rosmini 1, where you can find a very large choice of typically italian food (cheeses, salamis, fresh pasta, etc.). The boss is passionate and you can taste before buying.
Roberto is a very nice person, who took time to show us the area, and who was very disponible to answer to our questions during our stay.
I definitely recommend Roberto’s house!
