The "short" - excellent service and accommodations.

Francesco was waiting for me outside when I arrived. He is a charming, young gentleman. He had stocked the fridge with several bottles of water, and gave me a brief tutorial on building/apartment nuances.

The apartment is beautiful and pictures are accurate. The location is unbeatable for walking to three major attractions: Duomo, La Scala, and Castello Sforzesco. Also, a 10 minute walk to the Cardona Train Station which has a direct train to/from Malpensa Airport. There is also an office of tourism a block away. Finally, the entire area is filled with amazing restaurants and shopping. Avoiding taxi fares during my entire stay saved me a lot of money. The only taxi fare I paid was from Milano Centrale, the train station I arrived at from Geneva. The fare was under 15 Euro to the apartment.

The host is outstanding, the apartment is clean and beautiful, and the location is unbeatable. The property is typically booked, so if it is currently available … I would book it immediately! Cheers.
