Both location and host were lovely! Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi's architecture (the complex you stay in) is among the glories of Milan for sure. We did enjoy it. The flat has it all: clean, warm, convinient. The Saturday market, just across the street, is not to be missed. Apart from that there are no groceries and pubs nearby. Nearest shop/mall is 15 min walk, on the next (smth like Bonola, Bonona...) subway station.
The place is very comunicative. We used the subway daily. One reaches Duomo in no time.
Serena is just as helpful as a person can be!
