We arrived early in Milan and Filippo made arrangements for someone to meet us and let us in ahead of schedule. The flat was clean and tidy, and had a map with the locations of shops and points of interest. The flat was perfectly located for a stay in the centre of Milan, being only 10-15 minutes walk from the Domo, 2 minutes from the pinacoteca di Brea, and 30 seconds from shops and lovely restaurants. Ideal.

There was even a taxi rank within 30m of the flat, so getting to the railway station was simplicity.

Many thanks for your hospitality, Filippo.
