Everything was very easy - we were only in Milan for a short stay, less than 24 hours, before our flight out, but the apartment was perfectly located to explore for a bit. The square just outside is really convenient for quick food or coffee, and there are several places of interest within a short walk (Chinatown, castle, etc.). Plus, the Porto Garabaldi train station is only a 5-10 minute walk. We had a great time.
