On the fifth floor and situated on a quiet street, Alessandro's place is clean, neat and wonderful to stay after a full day of discovering Milan. The location to us was ideal. The neighborhood of Navigli is full of shops and diverse restaurants that are frequented by locals. We enjoyed Cuban food and cocktails in El Bodeguita and gluten free options at Be Bop. The canals and Darsena is full of life with vegetable markets and food stalls around. But if you want to do touristy activities, you are 20 minutes walk to most of the attractions and two metro stations are also nearby. I highly suggest you book Alessandro's flat on your next trip to Milan. He will truly give you many suggestions before and during your time here.
