The pictures don't do Alessandro's apartment justice- it is spacious, tastefully decorated, well equipped, and in a fantastic location. There is a subway stop nearby, lots of places to eat (including cafes near the University that are very reasonable) & walking distance to the Duomo. It's not too far to the canal area either, for more drinks & nightlife. Check in and communication with Alessandro was great. We loved our stay in Milan, we'd definitely stay at his apartment again, and recommend it to others too.
