Vasco's apartment is situated in front of a bakery with the best focaccia bread and about a block away from great dining. Took me about 10-15 minutes to get from the apartment to Duomo by foot, and the walk was very easy. I kept stopping to take pictures of everything.
Upon arrival, Vasco greeted me at the door and helped me with my bags up to the apartment. He had great information on dining, sightseeing, and shopping and even walked me over to a restaurant and asked if they were still serving dinner since I had arrived pretty late.
The apartment is beautifully kept, great colors and décor, comfortable bed, gas stove works for making coffee or cooking, and the windows open so you can let the cool Milano air into the apt. Even the neighbor waved at me in the morning. At night you could hear some people talking outside, but nothing too disruptive.
As a solo female traveler, safety was important, and Vasco was always a text away and guided me back home at night when I was lost. I just loved this apartment and will always stay here in the future.
