Filippo was a welcoming and very helpful host. We enjoyed our stay in his charming garden home, which is within walking distance from all the city's main sites while still far enough away from the throngs of tourists and overpriced shops/restaurants. The streets around the nearby square of Sant' Ambrogio have hip bars and good restaurants. Try Osteria del Caffé Italiano and La Divina for amazing Pizza. Also Sant Ambrogio market is a nice place for lunch. Thanks for everything Filippo!
