Fabio was not available to meet us on arrival but he had made arrangements for his mother and friend to be there. Even though there was a language barrier they made us very welcome. The accommodation was very clean, bright and spacious. The area was residential and we felt very safe. There was a fantastic local supermarket over the road and taxi, trams and buses were on the doorstep. Plenty local places to eat, the coffee bar over the road was especially good along with the restaurant underneath the accommodation.
We took the recommended walk into Milan which, although a very wet day was worth it as there was plenty to see. It took us about 15 minutes. Just to note, the taxi from the bus terminus in Milan to the accommodation was around 11 euros for 4 of us so really worth it if you arrive late evening as we found there was no where at that time to buy a tram ticket.
I would definitely recommend Fabio's accommodation and would us it again. The beds were especially comfy.
