We really enjoyed our stay at Paola's apartment. It has everything you need (nice shower, comfy bed, kitchen necessities) and Paola was really quick to respond to queries and messages. She was also understanding at check in when our flight was delayed, and helpful with leaving luggage on our last day. The nearby area around the canal has lots of bars and restaurants, but the apartment is just far enough away to be nice and quiet when you want to get some sleep. We would really recommend this as a base for exploring Milan - we walked everywhere but there are metro and tram stops nearby too.
