Davide was incredibly accommodating in accepting our request as he was traveling himself during our intended stay. He coordinated our arrival and arranged for his mother and an English-speaking friend of his to meet my wife and I at his lovely flat near Milano Centrale. Located in a very secure building just a few minutes walk from Milan's primary train station, we were immediately drawn to the lush garden area just off of the very modern kitchen. Almost surreal in the degree of serenity one feels while sitting there enjoying a beverage, it's a stark and most welcome contrast to the bustle of the big city. Once we stopped lusting over the beautiful garden area, our eyes became fixed on the mix of contemporary lighting and furnishings throughout Davide's beautifully appointed flat. The bathroom is of a very high design aesthetic, complete with top quality fixtures, bidet and a concrete sink. High ceilings throughout complemented by a decent amount of natural light accentuates the sense of space and openness that is a hallmark of this wonderful property. Learning that we were recently married and enjoying the second half of our honeymoon, Davide's mother was so so kind in offering my wife a beautiful pair of earrings that she had made herself. If that's not hospitality, I don't know what is! Our only regrets were 1) we had only one night in Milan to truly enjoy Davide's fantastic apartment and 2) we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Davide on account of his own holidays taking him abroad during our visit. Should we find our way back to Milan at some point in the future we would surely hope to enjoy a more extended stay at this fabulous property.
