It was an excellent base from which to explore Milan. The tram and tube lines are close by and with a three day ticket travelling to the best and breathtakingly beautiful parts of the city was simple. The apartment was clean, with good facilities and simple check in instructions. The hosts were attentive to questions and offered wonderful suggestions of places to go and places to eat and drink which weren’t just touristy but also proper Italian hangouts. Would thoroughly recommend if you want to stay outside the city centre and are happy to be a 20 minute tube ride from the heart of Milan.
