Alberto is a kind and lovely host who went out of his way to introduce us to the apartment late at night after our trains were delayed. He also offered helpful suggestions on getting around which were more useful than any of the travel guides we had read.
The apartment is large, tastefully decorated and very clean although a little cluttered. It is, after all, Alberto’s home when he is not hosting. The balcony is a lovely space for relaxing in the shade.
It is situated in a great area convenient for trams and the metro with lovely bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The Cucina Romana Ponte Milvio in the Porta Venezia district was particularly good with the best Carbonara I’ve ever tasted. The bar immediately downstairs is also a lovely place for drinks and there is a great supermarket a short distance away. A very authentic Milanese stay. Thank you Alberto.
