Giovanni's apartment is great. Very close to city center (only 5 stops on metro to duomo, 10 mins) and only 2 stops from centrale station. the metro is also very close to his apartment. The apartment is very clean and in very good order. He has many interesting magazines, books and ornaments. the apartment building has a nice authentic feel to it, the apartment is on the forth floor of a building with 5 floors. the view is nice of Milanese rooftops, and there is a local jazz bar, and on his doorstep is a tapas restaurant which i highly recommend. Gio is a fantastic host and had authentic pasta and biscotti waiting on our arrival. he is also on hand to recommend the best places in town. Highly recommend anyone to stay here!!
