We had a wonderful week , Antonella and Paola were great hosts . They met us at the apartment gave us lots of good advice and were readily available to answer any queries in the holiday. They also provided a few basics like Milk, pasta, Ragu sauce, olive oil, tea, coffee etc so we didn't have to worry to much on our arrival, which was great as our plane was delayed so we were later arriving than expected.
The apartment is very close to a beautiful park and loads of restaurants, the centre of Milan is about a 20 minute walk away through the park. There are 2 supermarkets within a 5 minute walk . In fact the metro , trams and Cadorna station are all within walking distance. Taxis are also inexpensive. Most people in Milan also speak English and most things are written in English and Italian.
Everything you need is in the apartment and the beds were very comfortable and the apartment very clean. As with all cities it can be noisy at night but we found that closing the shutters and the windows and leaving the fans on gently we had a great nights sleep.
Closing the shutters and leaving the windows open kept the apartment nice and cool when it was very hot, it registered 37 C on one of the days we were there. 2 days a week there is a small market outside the apartments where we bought salads, wonderful fruit, meats, gifts etc.
A day trip to Bellagio on Lake Como is a beautiful day out and not expensive about e 25 fast train return and boat trip on the lake.
A fantastic holiday and fantastic hosts. Thank you
