Nested in the middle of the quiet San Carlo area of Milan, right between two delicious traditional pastry shops and the Last supper (Cenacolo), Nico's place has so many benefits that it's hard to count them all (bright room with large window, hyper cosy and clean, both functional and intimate space...). Most of all, Nicolo is the best of hosts: generous with his time and always willing to impart his well-traveled knowledge of (the world and) the city. Could not have found a better room for my first time (before many) in Milan!
