If you need a place to stay in Milan, I would highly recommend Serena's place. Public transportation is literally around the corner, there are tons of amazing food close including a superb pizza shop across the street, Navigli nightlife is close with the scenic canals and that's just the surrounding area. You're welcomed by a wonderful and helpful host in a very clean and chic apartment. The bedroom is huge with a large and comfortable bed, books and a table, plus cool artwork. You're offered tasty and healthy food for breakfast coupled with a beautiful view of a Milanese street out the window. Serena is a wonderful host, she is very flexible and accommodating if you have friends visiting. She'll offer insight on things to do in the city and has some of the best recommendations for places to eat in a city known for cuisine. I'd highly recommend a stay here if you're passing time in Milan.
