Francesco's Appartamento di Design is perfect for a visit to Milan (either alone, as a couple, or if you have a little one with you as we did). It has everything you need for a short or long stay and Francesco is very very helpful especially if you're unfamiliar with the city. Via Orti itself in Porta Romana is a great street, for being so close to the city centre it's not noisy or busy with traffic but instead is buzzing with it's own daily life of restaurants, bars, bakeries, ice cream parlour and a little shop everything you could need on the doorstep. I couldn't recommend the area or Francesco's apartment enough! :-)
