From the moment I booked, communicating with Gabriele was extremely easy. He quickly responded to my messages and offered helpful tips for our trip and arrival. We took a taxi from Milano Centrale train station to the apartment and paid 10 euros. The apartment is located in a residential neighborhood, right next to Sempione park, a couple of blocks from Arco della Pace, and it was great experiencing Milano like locals do. A taxi to the Duomo is also about 10 euros but the walk through Brera neighborhood is worth it since it is full of restaurants and shops (Via Mercato and neighboring streets). The apartment is exactly as described in the post and as seen in the pictures. I particularly appreciated how clean everything in it was. Unfortunately, we were only able to spend 2 nights at this place but look forward to staying here in our next visit to Milan. Gabriele helped us understand our options for traveling to the Malpensa airport for our return flight and assisted us with our taxi to the train station. We left early Monday morning as they were setting up a fresh produce market along the street. Would love to come back just for that! Thank you Gabriele for being such a wonderful host.
