Claudio’s place is less than five minutes walking to Central Station. There aren’t many touristy things to do in the area but there is a taxi station right outside of the station. It costs less than 13 Euros to get to the Milan Cathedral. We choose it for the ease of getting on/off the train. There is excellent security at Claudio’s apartment. It was clean and stocked with basic essentials plus a few extras. The walls are think so you will hear the other tenants. A good place to stay if you are traveling by train.
