Had the most wonderful time! Fabio and his son Simone made me feel so welcome and excited about the fantastic neighbourhood before even getting there. Simone was there to show me around when I arrived, a bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge and I immediately felt like in my private sanctuary! My nephew and niece (uni students) also adored the place, with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a large living room, dining room and a kitchen and outdoor area, there was plenty of space. Not that we needed it really! The charming channel side magic was waiting for us just outside a few steps away. All three evenings we spent taking the Aperitif at the lively bars along the waterways and discovering dinner places. Public transport just a step away, we hopped onto the metro and were at the Expo (Fiera Rho) station quickly as well as getting to the Dome/Castillo and other areas. We always came back to what we quickly claimed as "our backyard" and ended up knowing some restaurant/bar/shop owners. How can you feel local after just 3 days? I do look forward going back with some of my adult friends to enjoy some of the Michelin starred restaurants there as well. The energy is vibrant, magic encounters abound and if you just want your haven and relax, then this is just the place to be. Good night sleeps are guaranteed with quiet nights, high quality mattresses and that nice feeling to be simply part of Milan. Very safe at all counts, just classy and so very private and yet so easy to reach everything in Milan, I can only recommend the place and thank both Fabio and Simone for making us feel so welcome. I travel a lot for business and pleasure and this will be one of my favourites! Watch me - I'll be back soon!
