When we arrived Tommaso's mum was already there to do the check-in, even though we had a 1,5h delay being stuck in traffic, coming from Firenze. So we checked in at around 7, she showed us where the garage was - be aware, a mum-tank or a very big 4x4 might not fit into the box! But for our car (Mercedes Citan) it worked.
Next morning we had a very pleasant surprise, instead of all the cars parked in the street there was an entire street market right in front of our door that has cheap clothing but also fresh fruits and vegetables so if you're staying longer or you know you'll eat at home and not just out, make use of that. According to the street sign it's twice/week. Whenever there is no market: the supermarket "PAM" is literally just 200m away.
Getting around the city is incredibly easy as the Metro station is just as close and the public transportation in Milano really works. We were in Roma on the same trip and it's incomparable. It runs all night long AND it's on time! Marvellous!
Tommaso gave us good tips what to do in the city and we took great advantage of that. In case you do want to have some downtime...the apartment is perfect for that! It is so lovely arranged and well equipped, we weren't missing a thing.
Last but not least, check-out was super easy! Tommaso is extremely helpful and accommodating with everything. So if you want a host you can ask anything any time and who has great tips but is also fairly laid-back - he's your guy!
We had a truly awesome stay in this little gem of a place and we will definitely come back!
