Although Vanessa was not at home she had arranged someone else to open the apt and give me the key, and that worked out well. The apt was everything as it was described. The photos are 100% accurate. The place was very delightful. I felt very much at home. There is an excellent restaurant around the corner just a minute away and a Carrefour grocery store two blocks north about 5 minutes away. The building is located on a quiet street but very close to the main thoroughfare. One bus stop is right in front of her building.

Before I left, Vanessa and I finally met, she had been visiting family in another town. I had a extremely enjoyable visit with her and her family. She and her family are good down to earth people and we both have strong environmental concerns about our planet.

Vanessa's husband Tommaso Arrigoni is a highly regarded chef and partner at Innocenti Evasioni (the restaurant around the corner), so if you stay here I would highly recommend you go for no less than one meal. It will be worth it, your tongue and mouth will love you.

Hope you enjoy this wonderful secret in Milan.
