My second time in Milan, my first trip was a bit of a bust.
This time however i was recommended to stay on the canals, and Stefano's apartment couldn't have been closer if you tried.
Stefano greeted me upon arrival and was kind enough to show me around and give me some local tips that were very helpful.
It was super easy to navigate the trains and metro from the airport and only a few minutes walk from one of the metro stations.
While i was there the canal was incredibly busy, with MTV music week and the monthly antique market (which was amazing) however due to the location and the double glazed glass noise was not a problem, the apartment was quiet and calm. everything was in walking distance and the canal was a perfect place to take an early morning run before breakfast and coffee in any one of the nearby cafes. I also made my own coffee and set on the rail by the canal and watched the locals come to life. if its available - stay here.
