Giovanni is very energetic, thoughtful and kind host. Staying at his place was excellent. It's very accomodating, warm, full of light and also full of interesting objects, photos, art, books and magazines, so even if you should find yourself staying in for whatever reason, there's plenty you can occupy yourself with :) The appartment is in a typical Milan old building in a quite lively part of town and close to metro and grocery store. Just two blocks away is Alcatraz music venue and if you're interested, the beautiful Cimitero Monumentale. With one word: perfect. Giovanni, thank you again!
