I had a lovely time at this unconventionally elegant home in an unexpected part of Milan. It was a rare and pleasant experience to sleep in a room surrounded by art and books on all four walls. Further, these four walls are armored enough to prevent any noise from seeping in from the lively Navigli district streets. Navigli, a part of Milan I was previously not familiar with, is defined by its canals -- redolent of Venice -- and its late night festivities among Italian locals. If you would like to stay in a uniquely dual environment, a strikingly charming clash of this internal and external world, I highly recommend Zimper's apartment.
