Niccolo's apartment was everything that he describes-- it's clean and modern and conveniently located near a metro station. This station also has the express train to the Malpensa airport-- a 12 euro ticket gets you to the airport in 40 minutes-- otherwise you'd be spending much more to take a car. The proximity to the station for that reason alone makes this apartment worthwhile if you're flying out of Malpensa (Milan has 2 major airports)!
The apartment is within walking distance of the Sforza Castle and the Duomo, among other sites. The bed is very comfortable-- first pillows we found in Italy that were actually fluffy! Elevator in the building makes getting to the apartment with luggage easy. Niccolo is a gracious host and he made our short trip to Milan simple and comfortable.
