From start to finish Alessandro was the most helpful host we have ever encountered. I'd looked up how to get to the apartment online however Alessandro purchased the train tickets for me online so as not to waste time at a ticket machine. Before leaving the uk, clear and precise instructions on what stations, platforms etc to use.... we have been to Italy many times but not to Milan the transportation system is easy and reliable so don't waste your money paying for taxis unless you have lots of luggage. Alessandro greeted us on arrival, and offered advise on places to eat, visit and much more. All of this he had also printed out so as on to forget or be overwhelmed at. We knew we wanted to visit Lake Como and Venice whilst here and he again purchased the tickets online for us going over and above to help.
The apartment itself is perfect! Two comfortable rooms and bathrooms and if need extra beds in the living area. The kitchen had everything you could need microwave, coffee machine, toaster etc.... but topped off with the fridge and cupboards being full to the brim with food.
Not just Bread and milk basics but enough for the 5 days we were here to have breakfast each day (eggs on toast) plenty of snacks for the kids (and adults) such as yogurts, cheeses, meats, pastries..... even two bottles of wine 😳
Again in the bathroom supply's of toothbrushes, shower gel shampoo and much much more......
USB ports all round the apartment, phone charging shelfs, lovely pictures. It's was ultra clean and every detail you could imagine was thought of.
Perfect location to get about only 2 stops on the train to the Duomo and much more.
We will be recommending Alessandro's apartment to all. We will definitely be back!
