We had an excellent stay with Claudio and Ale. The communication was fast and easy, and they were very accommodating with our late arrival. They provided many suggestions for both restaurants, sights and current events going on in the area. Overall, they went above and beyond what I expected :-)
I attended a conference across the street from the apartment, so the location was convenient for me, and it was also very easy to walk to the center (20-30 minutes) or take the metro. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, but still has good access to restaurants and cafes, especially down by the canal (Naviglio Grande), only ten minutes walk away.
