Raffaele's apartment is on the ground floor of a gated block to the north of Isola district. apart from the property being numbered incorrectly in the description, go to 13B, it was easy to find and close to the metro. We were met by Raffaele's sister who was waiting for us and we were allowed to check in early in the day, as we had a morning flight. Raffaele was very quick to help us to find the apartment The apartment is small, but has everything necessary for a visit to Milan. Being on the ground floor, it was a bit dark, but we did not spend a great deal of time there. The shower and bathroom facilities were excellent, plenty of hot water, and the bed was comfortable, although as we find everywhere in Europe it was on the firm side. The only downside we experienced was that as it was the first apartment by the entrance door, we did hear other people coming and going quite a bit, and could hear the toilet flush from the apartment above; other than that it was very quiet.
The apartment is in the Isola District, just 10 minutes walk to Bosco Verticale, Porto Nuova and lots of bars and restaurants. From the apartment we were able to walk to the Duomo, and the castle, we even walked to Navigli, although that was a little far!
If returning to Milan I would definitely stay in Raffaele's place again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other travellers. Thanks Raffaele!
