We enjoyed our first experience of Milan. It is a 50 minute train journey on the Malpensa express from the airport to Milan Central Station. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the metro (Lima), and then a 5-10 minute journey into the centre of Milan.
We were greeted by a very friendly neighbour who showed us into the apartment and explained everything that we needed to know about the amenities. We were also given a helpful video from Antonio about how to put the sofa bed up that turns into a bunk-bed.
Antonio gave us helpful information in regards to transport for arriving and how to get into the centre. You can get a 92 bus from the train station to the apartment.
The food was the highlight of our trip. For 10 euros you can have an alcoholic drink and an all-you-can-eat buffet on the canal during happy hour!
I would recommend going to the canal on a sunny day - there are beautiful little courtyards and boutique shops to wander round.
The cathedral is a must see. We went inside and also walked on the rooftops - it is stunning. Don't forget to visit the museum that is next to it as this is included in your ticket. A good tip is to do the rooftops first as the queues are a lot smaller. You can then enter the inside of the cathedral from the rooftops. Buy your ticket in advance of your trip and it will last for 3 days.
Overall we enjoyed our experience of Milan and would recommend this apartment if you're looking for a city break.
