Paolo did a great job of welcoming us to his apartment. He had maps and brochures for us to find stuff around Milan, as well as some Italian snacks. The apartment is in a great part of Milan, a 5-10 minute walk to the nearby park and several places to eat on the perimeter, and a 15 minute walk to the Duomo and the historic central part of Milan. Everything was as nice as described, if not better.
