This is a lovely and central part of Milan. The apartment is a lovely small place that easily accommodates 3 (we were 2), with all the needed amenities. It sits right on tope of the Navigli, which means access to umpteen bars and restaurants, and walking distance from many of Milan's most desired sites. It can get noisy on weekends/holiday nights, but hey, if you want quiet, you should not stay in the center of any major city! I would definitely stay there again.
