We highly recommend staying here and enjoyed our stay. Our host Milco was attentive and friendly and made us feel welcome.
I visited Milano with my mum and sister for four nights in October and was looking for somewhere that could accommodate three adults comfortably. The flat is just perfect, spotlessly clean and cosy with enough space for the three of us. It’s decorated beautifully and is very modern. Warm in winter and also has air con so would be cool in summer.
The flat has a gorgeous balcony with comfortable seating for breakfast in the morning etc.
It is in a traditional apartment block set away from the street and you go into a square to access it through a wooden doorway. Once inside the square it’s very quiet, we had a very good sleep. The flat is on the fourth floor but there is a lift so it was fine for my 78 year old mother.
The location is excellent, you are just around the corner from all the restaurants on the canal so will never go hungry. You can walk into the centre of the city to see the cathedral in around 25 minutes.
Transport connections are brilliant, you can catch the number 9 tram to take you into the centre or further out. It’s worth exploring the areas around the city away from the main shopping district if you don’t just want to go shopping!
The metro station Porto Genova is an 8 minute walk away, and there is also a taxi rank there which is good if you are in a hurry. We took a train to como for the day and it was very well connected.
For non touristy things to visit I highly recommend Fondazione Prada for the best modern art gallery in Europe, and if you like stationary like me you must go to FRATELLI BONVINI an incredible stationery shop that has been in Porta Romana since 1909
