Luca’s place is exactly as described - only better! I felt quite privileged to be staying in this gorgeous old apartment building. It’s been beautifully restored, and is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Indeed, it’s the only foyer I’ve been into in Italy that didn’t have some weird fusty old smell in it! It’s really well situated: very close to Milano Centrale, metro stations, airport shuttle buses etc, and the area is nice and with all conveniences.
The apartment itself is also really clean, and its recent high quality makeover - modern and minimalist - makes it a real pleasure to be in. The room is bigger than it looks in the photo, the bed is comfortable and the shower is fantastic. Then there are the hosts ... Luca and Gigi are easygoing, intelligent and interesting hosts who welcomed me warmly and with whom communication was always easy and straightforward. (They both speak excellent English.)
