We had the best time at Carlo's place! The flat is in a quiet neighborhood in the north of Milan but it's easy to get everywhere in the center by tram or bus. Carlo and his family were so friendly and helpful, even recommending the best place for gelato in Milan- which was amazing!! The appartment is a nice size for two, and the terrace is amazing! We enjoyed drinking the kind gift of a bottle of Wine on it, overlooking the city. The stairs require a minimum level of fitness so be careful if you're really not fit, but even if you're out of breath at the end it's so worth it for the terrace and it's view.
There is also a nice supermarket near by, and the pizzeria which we unfortunately didn't get to try as we stayed for only two nights. Our only regret is that we didn't get to spend more time at the appartment and in the city! When we come back we'd stay with Carlo again as we really did have such a great time!!
