Comfortable apartment in a prime location w/a sense of old Milan in a courtyard building. Nicely decorated, full of books and art, good systems, and a kitchen stocked with most things needed for cooking, even a full Christmas dinner in our case. The apartment is on two levels with steep stairs, not suitable for those with mobility issues.
Corso Garibaldi, just around the corner, is lined with shops and restaurants, and just a 2-5 minute walk to tram, subway stops, and bike share. Most cars are barred in this section, which makes it an unusually pleasant street for strolling and outdoor cafés and bars. It is also walking distance to many of the most interesting other places, the Duomo, Castello, Isola, fashion district, etc.
The hosts were communicative and friendly. They gave us good recommendations for enjoying Milan, and responded immediately with a replacement small refrigerator even during the holiday week when there was an electrical problem with the original appliance.
