Francesco was a great host and the apartment was ideal, he was accommodating with my check-in request and always had a prompt response if I had any questions.
The apartment is in a fantastic location just 10 minutes walk to Navigli which is a vibrant place with plenty of places to eat and drink (just be mindful of mosquitos!). Despite the great location, the apartment was on a quiet street and the balcony area was nice and peaceful.
It was a 20 minute walk to the Duomo which was a very simple route. Alternatively there are 2 Metro stations both around 8 minutes walk from the apartment. The Metro cost around £1.70 per journey which is cheaper than taxis and easy to navigate.
For the morning there are a couple of bakeries just minutes from the apartment, that do great croissants with your filling of choice. There’s also pharmacies everywhere, for your mosquito bite needs!
Additionally if you take the Metro to Milano Centrale Station, you can take a train to several spots on the West side of Lake Como.
The apartment was exceptionally clean and exactly as pictured. The balcony was better than in the photo and had great morning sun with a courtyard view.
I would definitely recommend the apartment and Francesco to anyone looking to explore Milan.
