Let me start by saying that the location is an absolute dream come true. It was like walking a couple minutes in any direction would inevitably land us at the Duomo. Every attraction of the Centro Storico is within crawling distance.
The home is as authentic as could be. Enter through the large wooden doors and you are greeted with a picturesque square littered with old timey balconies going all the way up. You are gracefully guided up to the property on the third floor by the kindest, most energetic, Italian you have ever met.
The apartment is spacious. Two rooms, a double bed and a single. Great for traveling with friends or children. It is all furnished very homely and thoroughly authentic.
Now comes the best part. Open the balcony doors on the street side and feast your eyes on Milano city life. Well dressed people in all walks of life on typical Vespa's, in classy cars or getting on and off the tram. We especially recommend to take a peek on the balcony when the first rays of light bring the streets to life. If not to be delighted visually, then to enjoy the smell of freshly baked pastry and Italian coffee.
Oh yes. You heard that right. A literal door to the right, outside the home, there is a small coffee place. That's where the smells are originating from. Classic quality coffee and great pastry. A cappuccino with strawberry cheecake pastry? €2.30! That's the price countries charge for going to the bathroom (looking at you Norway) and here it's the best breakfast a human can ask for.
Oh the hosts. Constantly involved in our wellbeing. Shooting local tips on where to eat and what to see, among other things.
Lastly. Get a pizza Napolitana at Pizza Am (5 minute walk) and a seafood pasta dish at Andry (15 minute walk). Both of these places have their own distinct appeal. Am is for the everyman, Andry offers high cuisine. Still, main courses cost the same and they both use fresh ingredients masterfully.
Tl;dr
Unforgettable location, kindest hosts, make your stay count and book with Pierangelo.
