Positive points (so many !) : The appartment : very clean, modern, big, fully furnished, brochures about Milan... The host : Luca is a very nice person and he highly deserves his status of superhost. He was very helpful at any time. The location : the metro station "M3" (yellow line) is at 5 min by foot in direction to the Duomo without changing, very close to the Centrale train station (2 stops), you can even take a taxi from the station if you have heavy luggages (around EUR 10.- for a single way), very peaceful area, no noise at all (I thought I was alone in the building), there is a small grocery "Spesa" (the indian owner is very friendly) with everything you may need (pasta, eggs, milk, biscuits, soft drinks, alcool, fresh fruits, etc.), a cheap bakery is next to the grocery (the bread is very tasty). Shopping & Design : you can find everything in the center (wellknown brands, OVS, Blue Sand, COS, H&M... / Kartell, Alessi...). I found a wonderful shop called "MAD Zone" where you should go because they have unique clothes and accessories (address : via Brera 2). My tips : - Go before 9am to visit the Duomo and buy tickets for going at the top with the lift where you will have an amazing view on the city. - If you want to eat very good italian specialties, I suggest you to book a table at the restaurant called Nabucco which is in lovely area of Brera (address : via Fiori Chiari 10). Another restaurant called "Pulia" which is next to the beautiful Galleria Vittorio Emanuele where you can find luxury shops whose Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and many others. The restaurant of the Scalla is good but a bit expensive for what it offers. - Do not hesitate to go to the Mc Café in front of the Duomo because the coffee is excellent and cheap (around EUR 1.50) and you can eat a delicious tiramisù by the way. - The pizzeria at the corner of the building is really bad and expensive for the quality and the quantity. I was very disappointed. Better to buy some food at the Spesa and cook at home ;-) - I pay you attention that someone tried to open my bag in the metro so take care and always keep your bag closed or put your money somewhere else (under your shirt by example). - No need to visit the city with the "City Tour" bus full of tourists. Impossible to see by the windows because of the stickers put on the bus and it costs EUR 22.- per one day. I recommend you to walk or take the metro. - For the metro, you need to buy a ticket for the zone called "urbani" (price : EUR 8.50 for 48 hours = 2 days). Well...I already plan to go once again at Luca's place !
