The apartment has high ceilings and cool archways - it's an old building with lots of character, but also the apartment is done nicely to make it feel still classic but also updated. The location is absolutely perfect as you can see the main canal and the bustling street below (mostly pedestrians) from the little balcony that has a little cafe table and chairs. It is also a very short walk to the metro station which is very convenient. We were there on rainy days, but the apartment was warm (unlike the place we stayed last time in Milan!). Andrea met us and made us feel welcome and right at home (and was very kind about my several arrival time changes). I highly recommend this place. We were just two people for a short couple of days, but the apartment could suit up to four people fairly comfortably for longer stays and it would be easy to eat in (though we enjoyed treating ourselves to the wonderful food in the neighborhood. Apertivo is always fun in Naviglio too!.
