We stayed at Paolo's apartment for 3 nights and Paolo was very helpful and welcoming. The flat is basic but spacious and was all we needed. The only thing we would say is that brighter lighting would be better as the lights in the apartment are quite dark.

It is very simple to get the bus and metro into the centre of the city and you can also walk along the canal. You are also within walking distance of some nice restaurants and bars and can walk to the Navigili canal area which comes alive at night. The only downside location wise is that it can be quite loud at night (loud shouting between people) just outside the window in the bedroom as there is a bar directly across the road and trucks etc. must to deliveries/pick ups in the middle of the night. So just be prepared for disrupted nights.

Overall though we had a great stay and the flat gave us everything we needed for a very reasonable price.

Thanks

Catherine and Ben
