Mauro was unable to meet to show me the apartment but instead arranged for a friend to meet me. The apartment itself was very much to my taste. The location was perfect and only a small walk to the nearest metro station.
The rooms were clean and quite spacious. The bed was comfy. The bathroom modern.
The only problem I could see arising is if you'd need storage space to keep your stuff as this is Mauro's home and very lived in. But we were only staying one night and it was perfect for us.
We let Mauro know that we wanted to go to Lake Como and he was very helpful and suggested the train and found some times for us.
I had the good fortune to meet Mauro before I left the apartment and he's extremely friendly and accommodating. If I ever stay in Milan again I will first check if Mauro's place is available. I'd recommend this place to guests looking for a short stay.
Thanks Mauro!
