The location for the apartment is perfect only being a 3min walk from the duomo and castelo.you truly are in the central hub of Milan. Having said that you are paying for that location. We found this more of a base to sleep rather than an apartment to enjoy, the balcony was something that was very important when booking and it was a real disappointment to find it was infact a large walkway and not a balcony. Check in was seemless and the host was incredibly helpful. The late checkout was also brilliant, it meant that we were able to leave our bags in the apartment and then pick them up at midday to carry on our journey. Thankyou for our little base in Milan.
