This is the place to stay if you find yourself visiting Milan. Right on a gorgeous canal, surrounded on both sides with lines of cafes/bars/restaurants. Lots of locals. About an hour from the airport via public transport (which is easy).
The apartment itself is clean, spacious, and beautiful. Windows open onto the canal and have shutters to block the light, if you choose.
A little ways from main tourist spots like the Duomo (25 min walk), but we enjoyed the separation and the walk was easy. We mostly enjoyed staying in the area around the apartment.
