Our family had a fantastic time in Milan. Angelo our host kindly met us on our arrival and had thoughtfully bought ample provisions as well as an Italian Christmas cake and wine. We enjoyed his company at lunch in a wine restaurant and he practically spent the afternoon taking us on a much appreciated walking tour around. Our youngest even commented that he was the nicest person we've met on the trip. The apartment was large and beautifully renovated with even a courtyard for the kids to run around in.The pantry was well stocked and there was a large collection of plates and utensils. Location was superb - we practically walked to all the sights. It was safe enough ( police station was diagonally across) for me to wander off shopping peacefully on my own while our 3 children (ages 10,8,7) rested in the apartment with my husband. There were lots of lovely restaurants close by. The next time we return to Milan, we will definitely be booking this apartment again.
