Wow! Truly a fabulous experience. Guglielmo and his wife met us for check in and gave us a thorough tour of the place, which is modern, cozy, beautiful and exactly like the photos. There was an issue with on of the sky lights while Guglielmo was giving us the tour and although we said it was no big deal he went and fixed it while his wife showed us the rest of the place.
More about the house, internet connection is great, a wonderful shower, very nice towels and the beds were comfortable. We traveled for 2 weeks after Milan and stayed in 3 additional airbnb rentals along the way and this was by far our favorite.
The neighborhood is FANTASTIC! If you're up for a little walking and exploring there is a castle and park about 20 minutes away, and if you're the athletic type this is where everyone in Milan seems to go running. Everywhere is dog friendly too :-) There are clubs and restaurants walking distance, and a wonderfully hip cafe on the corner that we frequented almost every morning. For shopping and the Duomo I would recommend taking a cab to the area for the amount of walking you will be doing while you are there. Although, if you are in good shape and ambitious it is possibly to walk there.
The host, my gosh did he go above and beyond! He called a cab for us early in the morning 5:30 am when a friend had to leave for the airport. When we missed our bike tour he called the company to let them know and see if there was a different time we could make it or if a refund was possible. Guglielmo was absolutely the best and without a doubt I would choose his place the next time I return to Milan.
Thank you so much for a fabulous experience!!!
