The place looks just like the pictures! The courtyard is absolutely stunning, and the location could not have been more perfect. The minute you step out of the gate you are right on the Naviglio Grande, surrounded by tons of cafes, restaurants and bars. The metro is also very accessible, with the tram being a 1 minute walk in either direction (download the ATM app for figuring out the different metro lines). Google maps says the Duomo is a 30 minute walk, but for us it was 20 minutes max, and the walk is very pleasant as well. Andrea is very kind, and very responsive which was great, even leaving us with a pack of beer as a welcoming gesture. I have no doubt I will be going back again :) Thank you Andrea!
