We had a great time staying at Lucia's apartment in Milan. It was extremely central to everything, with an easy walk to the Metro station down the road which took you amongst other places to Duomo Square and the fabulous Milan Cathedral and great shopping.
The apartment has only just been renovated and everything was brand new. Lucia's son Alessandro met us at the gate when we arrived from the airport and spent an hour telling us the best places to go to dinner, how to get to the closest Metro station etc. Alessandro was so helpful the whole time we were there, he even booked taxis for us when we needed them.
I can't say enough about this place and the courtesy we received from Alessandro. Next time we go to Milan this apartment will be the one we will try to book again.
The apartment is in Via Orti and across the road down a few doors
is the best Gelato shop you will ever go to. The Gelato was amazing and they had a few flavours that they had developed themselves including Pumpkin Gelato which my wife had and loved.
