Andrea, is a nice guy, friendly and very helpful.
The accommodation in a 1930s apartment block is packed with outstanding period features. Access is via a Wicket Door, into a large entrance vestibule... where you'll find a huge winding staircase and the vintage lift / escalator. Throughout all of the internal public areas.. the flooring is a remarkable terrazzo marble design - must have taken forever and a day to lay.
The location is perfect for using public transport, there are both buses and street-cars taking you to central station, where you can use the metro to navigate Milan, or take a train journey to almost anywhere in Europe.
TOP TIP: Our drop-off & collection point (from the airport), was Central Station. Rather than jump in a taxi, as we did... inside the station there's a Tobacconist, here you can buy tickets covering all Milan's public transport: Street-Cars, Trams, Buses and the underground.
Street car number 5, is four stops to the apartment. We used Google Map and the tram option for directions.. which includes the street-cars. At the time of writing, a 3-day-pass cost 12 Euros. NB: There's another retailer of passes in the station (not the tobacconist) charging 24 euros for the same pass. The tobacconist can be found near the Juice Bar. To find No: 5 exit the station into the Piazza with the huge apple sculpture, then with the sculpture ahead and the station behind, turn right 90º then walk 50 or so metres, you'll pass a taxi rank and over to the right you'll notice a turning point for trams - straight ahead, you'll see a tram stop. Check the chart - it should say No: 5... you want the tram taking you to the right (along the side of the station), or the stop closest the station. You go 2 stops, then it takes a 90º left, two more stops and your need to get off (time waits for no-one in Milan, so be ready to get off. Now walking, you need to cross over the line on which you just arrived.. to Via Stresa (first left), the apartment is a couple of hundred metres on the right.

We loved our time here, the accommodation has everything we needed for our five nights in Milan. The price for being this close to all of the major attractions is untouchable.
Thank you Andrea.
