Luisa's apartment is perfectly located to both get the real taste of everyday life in the really peaceful neighborhood but at the same time to be just a short walk away from all the buzz of Duomo and the center of the city. We even left the car in the street parking slot (blue ones not the yellow ones) for two days without paying. The apartment is small but has everything you need for a short stay in Milan. It is on the ground floor in the yard so the kids loved getting out. The only down side was that during our stay there was another apartment in the building being renovated so it was really dusty. But it wasn't that bad. There are few nice restaurants in the street, two big supermarkets just a 2-3 min walk from the apartment and train station for Expo is just 5-6 min walk. Luisa, whom we met at the check out and her brother who was there when we came, were great hosts with lots of information, maps and a cute welcome "pack" (juices for kids in the fridge, coffee and some necessities for breakfast). Highly recommend and great value for money.
