Filippo is very professional and super helpful. He is prompt in his response to any issues and will go above and beyond to help you out. We had a few relatively minor issues in our stay and he was more than helpful in his response. He has my thanks for his hospitality! He is exactly what you hope for in an Airbnb host.

The flat is clean and has a good simple layout. The supplied items are a bit limited (minimal dishware / glasses, minimal towels that are enough for two on a short stay, but no back-ups), but all perfectly fine and manageable for a short stay. The only issues I would suggest that one may have is with noise. Even though you're in the Brera on a pedestrian only street, there is barely any sound deadening / insulation and you'll swear that the odd late night post-party folks walking down Via Fiori Chiari at 04:00 are in the living room. If you're a light sleeper, this could be a problem for you. Consider his flat on the second floor with better insulated windows. The internet speed is always a bit slow in Italy, and unfortunately this flat isn't an exception.

The area is a fantastic part of Milano that's very safe, and it's super convenient to get on the excellent metro system for further afield jaunts, or walk to the main tourist sights as they're all very close by. There's plenty of good restaurants and shops in the area. Princi Bakery's location on Via Mercato is excellent for a morning cafe and a pastry, or at lunch time. Walk up to Porta Garibaldi for some shopping at Eataly, or a fantastic dinner in Alice. It's a very quick trip on the metro to Navigli as well.

Thanks Filippo, we'll see you soon again.
