We really enjoyed having Alessandro's spotlessly clean and brilliantly located appartment as our 'home base'for exploring Milan.
Just a few feet away is a great little supermarket for all your home cooking needs and a really good gelateria and pasticceria. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in Milan (Cirispacchio - looks really like nothing, but serves great Neapolitan food). Then a couple of minutes walk and you get into Chinatown with all the restaurants you could want. The centre is also conveniently located with everything within simple walking distance or take the quaint tram no. 1.
The balcony is lovely and everything works exactly as it should. Alessandro will give you tips for food, etc. - and he really cares about his recommendations! He was just a message away and we enjoyed him as our host. Definitely recommend
