We stayed for one week in Giorgia's apartment and had a wonderful time there. The hosts were very kind, thoughtful and understanding. The apartment met our expectations as it was clean, cool, neat and fun to live in. One can imagine that the owner is creative and has sense for humour. Even though you could hear that the neighbours are lively the nights were quiet.

The neighbourhood displays skyscraper in contrast with older building. In the skyscraper that is in 5 minutes walking distance you will find a great supermarket that hides delicious italian food. Also in the same area is a book café where you can enjoy delicious latte while observing business people running for cup of coffee. For dinner it was nice sit down in one of the many restaurants that are about 10 minutes walk from the apartment and where you will sit outside watching the night life while tasting the tasty Italian food - this place is in line from the skyscraper (or Piazza Gae Aulenti, don't know the proper name for it).

To get downtown a nice walk through the Parco Sempione made the day. While approaching the Dome we stopped at il Gelata to quench our thirst with stracciatella and chocolate ice cream.
You can also explore the city by bike. The nearest BikeMi (bikemi.it) station was in 2 minutes walking distance where you can rent a bike and leave it at any other 200 BikeMi stations you will find in Milan - just make sure to register online first.
Preferable, it was nice to be able to get back from the crowded tourism downtown to this nice neighbourhood where you will sense the italian culture more so.

Since P. Garibaldi train station is only in 5 min walking distance we took a day trip to Lago di Como and Florence, which added extra value to our vacation.

Overall, I would hopefully be able to stay in Giorgia's apartment again if we head back to Milan someday.
