Alessandro is a wonderful host. The apartment is very clean and comfortable with all amenities you can think of. Alessandro is very passionate and his love for Milan ( his city) is very evident. We enjoyed him sharing his personal favorite spots and guidance on how to navigate the city. The neighborhood is quiet and definitely has a local feel. There is a small grocery store right outside the gate that has great meat, cheeses, etc., and a nice selection of beverages. The metro, bars, and restaurants are also only a short 3-5 minute walk. We would definitely stay at one of Alessandro's places in the future.
