Giorgia's place is cozy and feels like a real home. It is full of charming arts and details. The neighborhood has a quite residential feel. There is a award winning restaurant right next door called Ex Mauri Osteria di Tradizione. The nearest metro stop is Isola (M5) which is only less than 5 minutes walk to Giorgia's place. The nearest main/interchange stop however is Garibaldi which is less than 1/2 mile (Garibaldi is only a few stops from Cadorna, Centrale, and Duomo). Giorgia is kind to leave us with bottled water and drinks, and yogurt which is very sweet. The place is reasonably clean. This is a good place to stay in Milan. As for myself and my family, it was a good "home base" to stay in Italy since we traveled to Venice (about 2.5 hours away) and Florence (about 1.5 hours away) with fast trains that you can catch in Metro Centrale.
