Elena and Roberto's place is probably one of the best values on Milan, especially for the young, solo traveler. The neighborhood is a close train ride or walk to the old city center, and it's also right next to the trendy Navigli area, which has many shops and restaurants right on he canals. Their apartment also overlooks that area, and has an amazing view! The hosts were very kind and hospitable, and went out of their way to make sure I had a nice stay. I would certainly stay there again if I return to Milan!
