We had a great stay at Gayles place.
The apartment was clean and everything you need was available.
Gayle herself was a GREAT host.
Our flight left really late in the evening and we were allowed to leave our luggage in the apartment and check out later.
Even though our flight to Milano was postponed serveral times her son still picked us up from the airport for a very good price.
The place is pretty close to the metro station (two stops to the central station,ca. 4 stops to duomo). Its even in walking distance to Corso Como.
The only downside is that its pretty loud because the apartment is located closely to the tram and a street. With earplugs its fine though.;) All in all I can only recommend staying with Gayle!!!
