I'm only in Milan for a night - and Giuliana's place is a great base since it's only two stops away from Centrale station and another couple more stops to Duomo itself. If you're heading to the airport, you can take an express train just two stops from Zara station (just across the street from Giuliana's apartment). Giuliana's cat is also the cutest thing ever - really friendly and just a darling to be around really. Giuliana is also really prompt with her messages - and gave a lot of good advice and tips during my stay (like how to get to the airport, how to call for a cab, and when I sprained my ankle, where to get instant ice packs).
