Met the host at the door of the apartment block. The apartment is compact and cozy with everything you need for a weekend away. The lift was also useful for getting up and down if you didn't want to use the stairs. There are bars on the street outside the building but the room was still very quiet as it faced the inner courtyard.
The area has parks, shops and plenty of bars and cafés nearby with great transport links to get about easily. A great location to see Milan and feel like a local.
