The place has a nice feel to it, it's after all a convent that was built over a 1000 years ago. I could have chosen to stay in an apartment in the center of town but to be honest the center of town is not authentic and it's very touristic. So this was a nice way to experience the city. Plus I love the idea of staying in an old convent. The apartment was perfect and better then the pictures showed. Most importantly it was very clean. The person renting it out (Emanuela) was extremely easy to contact, she also has an apartment in the same convent, and she was very very accommodating. For example, I showed up 3 hours early for my check in and she worked it out, in checking out I asked to leave my bags there and pick them up later in the day and she worked it out. She was great. The location is good because it's a 2-3 minute walk from the metro station and with that you can get anywhere you need to go in Milano. So the fact that it was a bit outside the city center wasn't a problem at all. Great place to stay.
