A great space, with all the facilities you need, in a modern apartment, with many options for getting into the centre of Milan - we walked the 15 mins to the Metro (you can use your contactless card now) on the way in and actually walked the full distance on the way back, via the canal.
Whilst we did not have the pleasure of meeting Francesco, we were met by the very helpful Tiziana who checked us in. Francesco did send us a message with local recommendations / tips, as did Tiziana. Many before us have confirmed how good these recommendations are....we visited the ice-cream shop twice and ate at the pizzeria nearby...both very good!
Having a secure car parking space so close to the centre, is fantastic and our Audi A3 fitted in with some room to spare.
As regards visiting Milan, we were only there for a full day so took advantage of the Hop On Hop Off bus tour (all three routes) plus the Duomo visit (the queues had almost disappeared by 17.45).
Highly recommended.
