I stayed at Fabio’s apartment in Milan with a group of design students for a week in June. We were 16 all together and the combination of one larger, more open apartment and one smaller more private apartment was perfect. Fabio designed the interior himself and it is great for large groups. It was impressive how he was able to make space for all of us.

It was situated on a quiet street with a lovely jasmine scented courtyard. The apartments were right next to each other with doors that open onto a shared entryway so we could go back and forth easily between them. They were exactly as described on the site. We especially enjoyed cooking for ourselves, especially in Milan where the food is all so fresh and delicious.

Fabio was a wonderful host who welcomed us in person and explained how the kitchen, bathroom, washer, air conditioning and other fittings in the apartments worked. He also helped arrange transportation from the airport for a reasonable cost that fit our budget and made arrival and departure very convenient for us.

Though it might appear that the apartments are a bit out of the center of town, they were perfectly situated for us, along a ring road just down the street from Domus Academy. A short walk away is the Naviglio with great outdoor life in the many restaurants and bars along the canals. The Metro is a 5-minute walk to the west and to the east there is a tram that goes directly to the Duomo in the center of town.

Next time I bring my class to Milan I will definitely stay with Fabio again. I give his apartments and his welcome to us five stars without question! Thank you so much Fabio!
