Mauro's place is very centrally located to shopping and many points of interest. We were able to easily walk every where we wanted to go. The apartment is an efficiency but feels roomy with a large bathroom. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and although you are in the middle of the action the room is very quiet. You will feel the vibrations of the subway that run during the day but I did not notice it at night. We would stay there again when in Milan.
