This apartment is centrally located with everything within walking distance if you don;t mind walking - if not there is a tram and bus stop about 50 metres away. One tip - if coming from Linate don't get the airport shuttle bus, catch a 73 instead because it is cheaper and there are more of them.
The apartment is a classic high ceiling apartment in a lovely old building. It is well equipped and very comfortable. If it is hot though, do bear in mind that there is no air conditioning - but there are fans and although the height of summer when we stayed the heat wasn't an issue for us. The apartment is on the third floor, so if you don't like stairs it is not for you. The building was very quiet when we stayed and there was little noise from outside. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in which to eat close by - as you would expect in Milan.
Check in was very helpful, and communication really good. We were made to feel very welcome.
Overall, this is a great apartment to rent, really good value for money, and we would (and maybe will) happily stay again, if Elena would have us.
