We stayed at Mauro's apartment for 7 nights. The apartment is extremely well located in the centre of Milan and only a 3-5min walk to major sights such as Milan's magnificent Duomo, La Scala opera house and Via Spiga (designer shopping precinct) - amazing!!
Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby and the infamous shopping precincts Milan has to offer. Piazza San Bablia is just around the corner and you'll find Taxi ranks and a small supermarket near by which was super handy for picking up quick supplies.
Mauro is a great host and a great communicator (prompt responses to any questions we asked). He ensured we were well looked after during our stay and included nice touches for us in the apartment, for example coffee, sugar and a detailed information pack of the apartment and nearby areas for dining, etc. As we stayed at his apartment for 7 nights, he also organised complimentary cleaning of his entire apartment including a full change of linen and towels on our 4th day - his service is very good! The apartment itself is so lovely, clean, very comfortable and in an excellent location (heart of MIlan). It offers a terrace with outdoor furniture which we really enjoyed each evening. You can see people walking around in the Piazza below and old church beside us was beautiful. It's also so nice to sit outside when staying in an apartment.
As the apartment is located in the heart of the main shopping precinct (pedestrian walk), it can be a little loud during the day/evenings with lots of people around and buskers performing in the Piazza below, but we loved the whole buzz and action in this precinct and just being able to walk outside and have everything at our door step was perfect. The apartment has a security entrance and lift which was an added bonus.
When we are next visit Milan, we really hope Mauro's apartment is available for us to stay again. It was a 5/5 for us - great job Mauro and thanks again for everything!!
