I spent one night at Andrea's place. Communication with Andrea was excellent--every time I had a question, he answered it quickly. The location is pretty good from central Milan and very easily accessible by bike. Just make sure you have GPS on your phone because it is a little confusing at first; if not, the Milanese are very friendly and speak pretty good English.

I wish I could've stayed longer. Andrea is a "man of the arts," and this is apparent as you walk into the room. It is full of books of all kinds, records, etc. It would've been nice to have a coffee with him and discuss his diverse interests.
