This apartment is in the absolutely perfect location. It is a 5 minute walk north of the heavily tourist area, and in the heart of where all the locals go to eat. It is only 5 minutes to either the green line metro or the yellow line. There is a taxi stand right in front of the apartment building. An ATM is next door as is a bar (like a coffee shop with pastries, sandwiches, etc) to grab a bite before you head out. Within a ten minute walk, there are literally at least 100 restaurants and almost all have outdoor dining.
We stayed there for five weeks (all of June into July) and did mostly day trips and a couple overnights to explore the many beautiful cities in northern Italy. High speed trains put most cities within reach in an hour or two from Milan. After a trip we would relax in our apartment which was wonderful. Francesca speaks good enough English to communicate, but we also used Google translate to text in Italian when needed. The apartment was clean and welcoming. The apartment is very secure. After entering through the giant doors (closed at night ) there is a beautiful courtyard. A small but convenient elevator takes you to the 2nd floor apartment overlooking the next street with a parking lot, gas station, and underground parking. Two days a week, the parking lot becomes a farmers market with fruits and vegetables, clothing, fish, meats, etc. so you can shop for fresh foods or just watch the locals.
We loved cooking in the apartment on our lazy "recovery" days when we just wanted to relax. All the basic cooking utensils are there if you are staying for a long stay. Best of all, the apartment is VERY secure. The giant doors are locked at night and you enter through a small door in the giant door with your key. Then you enter your building which is locked, then the apartment has a door that is very secure. We left our passports, laptop, and valuables in the apartment while on a day or overnight trip with no concerns about safety.
The bed is low but comfortable and is almost King sized and very comfortable for my wife and I. We used the other bedroom just to spread out the things from our suitcases, but it would be great if you needed the two twin beds there . The shower and tub were great and the lighting was excellent. The WiFi was very good. TV channels were numerous and virtually all in Italian, but we used the WiFi to watch the news.
In all this is a perfect apartment to be in the heart of the action, both local and tourist.
