A good accommodation for those who would like to experience a stay in a vibrant, affordable neighbourhood. Many amenities nearby - grocery, shop to purchase tickets for local transport, bars, restaurants. We often used the kitchen and many a morning started off with an espresso on the little balcony watching the local birds feast on the fruit of a nearby tree. Within walking distance of Navigli Grande and other neighbourhoods to explore. While there is graffiti on many of the buildings, we soon learned that it is part of the ambience and was not worrisome. Omar was an attentive host and took time to make us feel at home. While Milan can be quite costly in some ways this is an affordable way to spend some time in a not to be missed city in Italy.
