Angelo is an incredibly generous host - not only did he personally check us in, but as my mother arrived a few hours before I did, he spent time with her and took her to lunch and a walk around the area to help her get her bearings. He also arranged for his building manager, Mr. Sisira, to personally meet her at the airport to help bring her to into town via train and taxi. It gave me peace of mind to know she was taken care of in this manner and as an Airbnb host, this was truly going above and beyond expectations.

Angelo was also incredibly helpful throughout our stay, and checked on us via text and email - providing restaurant recommendations and other helpful information. Because my mother's luggage never arrived, he also showed us appropriate places to shop for her replacement clothing and other items, and as our local point of contact, responded to the airline with instructions after we departed (as the luggage only arrived after we had already left).

The apartment itself is large, bright, and well-appointed with everything you could ever need for a pleasant stay. It had comfortable and extremely clean beds, a well-stocked kitchen, air conditioning, wifi, and other items that were great to have on hand - hairdryer, iron, washing machine. The terrace was a nice place to eat breakfast and do some light exercise - a nice luxury to have private outdoor space during our stay in Milan. For runners - this is a great location also for proximity to Parco Sempione - which was about a 10 mins jog away.

Overall the location cannot be beat as you are mere minutes from the Duomo, Galleria, etc. and most locations are walkable from there (Brera, Via Montenapoleone, La Scala, etc.). Neighborhood places like Peck and Pescheria Spadari were so amazing and convenient to have around the corner as well - and there's even a high-quality gelateria called Ciacco for those gelato cravings. The first night we had a reservation at 2 Michelin-starred Ristorante Cracco, which is right across from Peck. It was so nice to have a short walk home after such an amazing dinner. The following night we were without a dinner reservation and found it was too late to venture far so we ended up having a lovely dinner at Slow Sud, which was also around the corner from the apartment. Of particular note also, as that you cannot stay in this apartment without visiting Pinacoteca Ambrosiana which is adjacent - and happens to house Da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus and other Renaissance treasures. The highlight of our trip was going to La Scala - again only a few minutes walk from the apartment!

We would gladly stay here again and are planning on a return trip to Milan!

Thank you again Angelo! Arrivederci e ci vediamo dopo!
