Ezmira's apartment was very clean and spacious, and very well appointed. Good location near central railway station. A few minutes walk to Metro and train network. ( Only 4 stations fron Duomo Cathedral area on M3 metro line. ) Lake Como can be reached in 30 minutes by train and the old town of Bergamo is also worth a visit. Plenty of restaurants locally and the large supermarket in the central railway station has a great variety of produce. The nearby restaurants are reasonably priced and wine / beer is very cheap in the supermarkets. A visit to the vibrant canals area of Milan is worth a visit in the evening , particularly the all-you-can-eat buffets , reasonably-priced when you buy some drink. Although there is a large number of immigrants in Milan living in difficult circumstances, we noticed that they were very well-behaved and we did not feel intimidated in any way. We had heard that Milan people were brusque and arrogant, but we found them to be cheerful and helpful. The one exception was a railway ticket inspector , but given that we were on the wrong train with the wrong ticket , perhaps he had some justification. There is plenty to do and see in Milan itself and , when you combine it with a few day trips , our week went in very quickly. I would recommend the €4.50 a day transport ticket- giving unlimited travel on all local modes of public transport. We found it particularly useful for the Metro. A big Thank You to Ezmira, and we would certainly use apartment again , if visiting Milan.
