Hats off to Carlo. He met us at the door, helped us with our bags, and sat with us for 10 min showing us a map of things to do, how to get there, and showed us how to use everything in the flat. He also brought us some books to check out showing the history of Milan, and finished off the introduction with a local bottle of wine for us (that was delicious).
His place is cozy, has an amazing balcony, good food around it, and train stations are very close, with City Center/Duomo only 25 min away by train.
Carlo was attentive if you needed him, available by text, and also lives just next door with his family.
The flat was clean, big, and great for two people. Cool art hung in the place that I am assuming was done by Carlo, and the kitchen had coffee ready to go. The market is just around the corner if you need anything and is open 24 hours. It really felt like we immersed ourself into the culture of Milan, avoiding the tourist life and enjoying local style living.
Thank you again Carlo, and for anyone looking for a great place to stay, this is the spot.
