We just wanted a place close to the train station to stay one night before embarking on the rest of our Italy tour. Immediately we wished we'd had more time in Milan, especially from such a home base as Nir's. Although it is small, its layout makes it feel like a larger space than the average studio apartment. Nir thoughtfully stocks both kitchen and bath to make everything homier and more convenient. And the location could not be better for those wishing to explore the city, with many historical sites within easy walking distance and Metro stops nearby. We are coming back through Milan in a week and are already sad that Nir's place is taken--no wonder, because it's terrific.
