This property is about a 10 minute walk from Milan’s Central Station. It is not a particularly pleasant walk so I would suggest that future guests take the Metro to Sondrio, which is just one stop from the Central Station. The Metro is very easy to use! You can use your credit cards at the ticket barriers in exactly the same way as on the London Underground.
I was very happy with the location of the property. The surrounding area was pleasant enough and I certainly felt very safe, which is of paramount importance when you are in a foreign country. The Metro station (Sondrio) was only a 5 minute or so walk away. It only takes a further 10 minutes by Metro to Duomo, which is the heart of the city centre.
The building is old. The apartment is on the 5th floor of the building. There is a lift but I didn’t use it. It is very antiquated and I was paranoid about the possibility of being stuck in it should it break down! The apartment itself was clean. There were some very nice additional touches - a complimentary bottle of wine, a complimentary basket of fresh oranges, and cold tap water in the fridge. We had some good weather during our stay in Milan and so had the opportunity to enjoy some time on the balcony. We had no problems connecting to the WiFi and the service was quick and reliable. My only real criticism is that the water pressure is really not very good. There is a shower in the bathroom but it was very weak indeed.
Overall, I was very happy with my stay here and would not hesitate to recommend this as a base to explore Milan.
