I had a great stay at Gabriela’s place for 3 days mid July . It was very hot in Milan at the time but thanks to a very efficient fan I was always very comfortable . The shutters are very substantial and keep out the early morning sunshine ! The kitchen is very well equipped and the bed very comfortable . Though the room is on the street side it was always very quiet . The apartment is in a great location for getting around with many trams and buses - especially no 15! . I did a lot of exploring and it never took me more than 15/20 minutes to get anywhere by foot or tram .
My highlights : If it’s your first time in Milan you have to go on the roof of the Duomo : it’s mind blowing ! And if you don’t want to feel like a tourist , have breakfast at Pasticceria Gallutto, spend the afternoon cooling off at the Bagni Misteriosi , have a little walk around the peaceful Orto Botanico and have a Spritz at La Belle Aurore. Thomasso also has great restaurant suggestions ! There is a very sweet little cafe which is also a flower shop just around the corner from the apartment called Poma which is perfect for breakfast ! And 2 doors away a very lovely jewellery shop with one off hand crafted designs . If you don’t want to eat out all the time there is a very handy Carrefour supermarket very close by . I was on my own but the apartment would comfortably accommodate 3 people and is great value ! And Thank you Gabriela and Thomasso for all the prompt correspondence !
