Carlo is a great host. He replied very quickly to all messages and was waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment was very clean and Carlo left what must be the biggest welcome pack ever seen - very thoughtful. He gave us loads of local tips on places to visit and eat. The apartment is ideal. It is about 10 minutes from the metro station and is close to the centre of Milan. The area feels very safe and there are lots of eateries nearby. There is some noise from trams and from people in the street, but nothing of concern; it is a city centre! We loved Milan and the surrounding area. We visited Venice and Como and loads of museums locally. Highly recommend Milan and a stay at Carlo's place.
