Maria's apartment is beautiful, just like the photos. It's a short walk to the center of the city with some nice eating options around.
Maria was out of town so her father brought us upstairs, gave us a map, and market it up with all kinds of food and activity ideas and guidance. They also thoughtfully left some delicious fruit, bread, and wine. Food highlights of the neighborhood are "Il Pescetto" for some of the best seafood ever, where you pick what you want and they prepare it in whatever way you like, and "La Prosciuterria," which is just how it sounds. Both are popular with locals and are the Milanese "no table service" type of eatery where you bus your own table. Would stay there again.
