We loved staying at Layla's apartment. Despite being just a few minutes walk from the duomo, this apartment is incredibly quiet thanks to the fact that it faces a courtyard and has modern insulated glass and another layer of acoustic and visual protection from motorised security shutters. The multiple security doors at the building entrance make it seem very safe at night. During the day, there is a concierge on duty at a desk in the lobby. The building itself and the apartment are very modern with cool design touches. Layla was very communicative during our stay. She sent us a message after the first night just to check in and make sure everything was going well. That was nice of her! She also facilitated an early check-in for us, which was incredibly helpful. PS - If you're visiting Milan and need a break from Italian food, we thought the Giardino di Giada Chinese restaurant just a few minutes walk from the apartment was excellent and non-touristy. We went twice and all the other customers both times seemed to be either Chinese or Italian. Also, the apartment is very convenient to public transportation, both the Metro and the number 73 Airport bus stops are very close by. We stayed at for airbnb is during our Italy trip, and this may have been our favourite and the best of them all. We're definitely keeping this one bookmarked and hope to stay at Leyla's place again if it's available next time we find ourselves in Milan.
