Flavio's place was perfect for us to spend a weekend in Milan. Very close to the train station, though a bit of a hike to the Duomo and other site seeing. We eventually discovered how to use the subway :) Clean, comfortable, and quiet. While it turned out that we didn't get to meet Flavio, he ended up needing to leave town, he did provide information to help us with our first time visit to Milan, and was accommodating on the check-out time. Having the place all to ourselves ended up being an unexpected bonus.
