I had a lovely stay at Downtown Suites. The flat is very well appointed and has the conveniences of a "hotel" experience, from the USB sockets (so handy for the international traveller) to the paying "mini bar". However, it doesn't take away from the local experience, with commerce close by and Navigli just a short walk away. Raffaella was also an excellent host who gave me a warm welcome and quick responses throughout my stay.
