Dear Paolo & Giulia...unfortunately i was only 2 nights at your flat, I will definitely return, if the stars aline next time. The arrival by train and following metro was super easy. The walk to flat is quick (2 blocks). Paolo was there pretty quickly...I only waited in the courtyard about 5 min for him...maybe i walk too quickly?
The flat is very unique...especially the walk to the door. The renovations are super, simple and elegant. Great closets, cool recessed lights, great shower for the grime after walking & exploring all day after traveling. We used the bikes too. I could pump the tires at the cool bike shop across the street. (A pump is also in flat.) The bikes functioned, but maybe there should be some chain oil/spray in the flat, also for the locks...kind of “sticky.” Since they are in an open courtyard, the weather can increase the rate of rust. Perhaps not many guests use the bikes? That was one of my reasons for booking this rental.
The neighborhood is terrific! So many important & interesting places are within a 20 min walk— with lots of great shops along the way! (It often takes much longer to get places, if you window shop). There are many guide books on the shelf in the flat, so don’t bring another along, unless it’s really important to you.
The table on the outside walkway by the front door is a heavenly spot for a quick bfast or snack or glass of wine. So cozy and relaxing; hard to believe <100 m away the busy street is buzzing.
Upon our departure P&G were also quite accommodating: we could leave the bags until 12:30, which allowed us to ride the bikes to Navigli region for the morning market.
Millie grazie!
