Nicoletta is a warm and wonderful host, she made us feel at ease immediately and gave us info not only of Milan but also on Calabria where we were headed next for a holiday. Her place is nice & clean and quite spacious in a typical character building. Location wise, it's in a residential area but at the same time there are a lot of bars and restaurants very close to the apartment. We tried Nicoletta's suggestion of Cantine Isola for a glass of wine and loved it. It's on the pedestrian Paolo Sarpi street which is just behind the building. The street has other bars and restaurants to choose from. As for transport there's a choice of 2 tram lines in close walking distance to move around town.
