Lorenzo, ensured we were well informed about the area and was an excellent communicator prior to our arrival. He recommended a local restaurant (Volemose Bene, Via della Moscova, 25, 20121 Milano MI, Italy) just a sort walk, Roman style dinner, excellent and very inexpensive. Another place we found in the Milanese style and also very reasonable and close by is (La Libera Via Palermo, 21, 20121 Milano MI, Italy). Been around for over 40 years. Excellent food and staff. All places you should make a reservation for dinner.
Lorenzo’s place is in the Brera neighborhood with many Milanese style restaurants within a 3-5 minute walk and an excellent area in which to explore Milan. If you do not know Milan and are wondering if this is a good location, it is. His Apartment was very comfortable and the A/C worked very well. We would highly recommend his place.
