Our stay was really excellent. We did not get to meet Simone but we were greeted at the door by some friends who had the key for us. The space is just as it is shown, it is lovely and bright, and while the street is quite busy and loud, when the balcony doors are closed it is completely blocked out. The location was very convenient to most everything we needed to do. The subway is a short walk and it is just a short walk to the Duomo and to the Parco Sempione. There are excellent restaurants and cafe's just outside the door. Would definitely stay here back again.
