We were met by a friend of Sergio's who waited for us at the apartment even though we were a bit late getting there (our phone's and maps weren't working). He was very friendly and was not rushed in showing us around the apartment.

The area was really good during the day when the shops were open and people were about, but we did find that everything shut down a bit early (like 10pm'ish) in the evening. Not a big deal if you aren't there for the night life. The Milan Cathedral and Piaza is a short walk away from the apartment and is a spectacular site both during the day and at night.

The apartment itself is thoroughly modern and has the best shower I've used in ages. The bed is very comfortable and the the windows have electric rolling shutters if you like blacking out the room and sleeping in.
