Andrea's place could not have been more perfect. The flat is perfectly located near a subway station and the main railway station. We did take taxis going to and from places but it wasn't too expensive. Thebalcony was one of the best parts of our trip. We had breakfast out there and you could even see the mountains from there on a clear day. Andrea was so helpful and the information we received on the first day (maps and suggestions for things to do) really helped since we had never been to Milan. We took a trip to Venice and as mentioned the central rail station is within walking distance so that was very convenient. Andrea even booked our taxi for us to the airport since we were leaving so early. Wouldn't stay anywhere else, it was the perfect place.
