We only stayed 1 night but arrived late in Milan and needed a place near the station in order to get out to Parma next day for a tour. Vasco's place was a great value for a family travelling with 4 and it was about 15 min walk from the station which even at night and 2 kids, it was safe. The apartment was clean and very efficient to have washer and dishwasher. Even at 9:30PM we were able to get a warm and lovely neighborhood dinner at a modern trattoria 1 min walk around the corner. That was a lovely surprise. Good value for the money.
