Stefano is a super great host. He contacted us several days before our arrival and provided details for the check in. He also meet us at the building upon arrival and introduced us to his apartment. The apartment is on a 3rd floor of a historic building. It is gated, with an elevator, And securely locked. It is located close to trains, metro & public transportation. The apartment faces the street where the trams are running. Therefore, noisy. Bring good earplugs and you will be fine. The apartment has a bedroom with a comfortable queen bed. The living room has a sofa bed. The place has a lot of closets & storage for your clothing. In addition it has all kind of supplies that make you feel at home away from home. The kitchen has a fridge, a freezer and a gas stove. It is well equipped with utensils, dishes & everything to prepare a complete meal. Supermarkets & restaurants are nearby. There is a huge Carrefour supermarket about 15 min walk that has a lot selection (drinks, meats, fruits, veggies, cooked and raw foods) at a very reasonable price. There is also a small Carrefour Express with limited supply by the Cardona station.
The metro is the best method to travel around the city. There are a lot of good restaurants around the apartment.
For inexpensive foods, visit Luini, Spotini, & Chinatown.
