Giulio's place met my requirements and expectations perfectly. 3 blocks from the Central Train Stn meant I could use the apt as a base when I traveled to other parts of Italy. The apt was very clean, and small touches like toiletries and stocked items in fridge made this place awesome. Super comfortable bed and thick fluffy towels. BONUS: the apt faced the inner courtyard so that there was no street noise. Perfect for sleeping in on the days I wanted to! All this and less than 30 mins walk to the action at the Duomo & main shopping districts.
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone, and I'd definitely stay there again when I visit Milan next.
Thanks Giulio for letting me stay at your place!
