We stayed in Simone's apartment for 3 nights, during our first visit to Milan. It's exactly what the description promises. It's in the heart of Milan, a couple of minutes walking distance to the Dome, the castle and all downtown sights. The neighborhood got a very vibrant nightlife and lots of restaurants. Two big groceries are minutes away. Lots of trams have stops meters away from the building. It was the perfect spot to experience the very energetic and stylish downtown Milan. pp with CHILDREN:: watch out, the external door opens directly to the busy street, you step out before they do!

Simone is a great host, and it was a real pleasure to meet him. He picked us up from the airport although it was late and he drove us all the way to town, then back somewhere else, almost 50 kms just because he's that kind of person. His tips were really valuable and was very responsive when we had questions. We found everything we needed in the apartment, even toys, dvds and books for the kids! You get 3 perfectly functioning and very comfortable beds with lots of extra sheets.

Ah, and you can buy bus/tram/subway tickets from the kiosk across the street!
