I really think it would be difficult to find a better place for a couple to stay while visiting Milan. The apartment was cute and well furnished. The host is very helpful and responds quickly. One of the underground metro lines is only minutes away. The main street is bustling with restaurants and shops. There are several food stores nearby. The apartment is just off the main road down a quiet street. It is easy to make several day trips out of Milan to see other sights. Having a washer was a big plus and we were able to dry clothes on the drying rack within 24 hours or so, except jeans.
