This apartment is in a very central location and about a 10 min. walk from the train/metro station that is used when you come in from the airport. The apartment was clean, well taken care of, and furnished. We were only there for two days so we did not take advantage of the kitchen for cooking meals.
Nice for a couple with up to two kids. Two couples would be ok but one couple would be sleeping on a the pull out bed in the main common area of the apartment. The beds were clean and comfortable. The main bed is upstairs with low ceilings and wood beams -- watch your head! However, this is part of the charm of the place. There is a large gathering/dinning table in the common area close to the kitchen. We mostly used it for laying out our maps for our short stay.
There is also lovely inner courtyard to for the building. During the day, there is an on-site concierge. This is nice because it ensures that the entire building is safe and secure. The apartment is on the 3rd level. However, there is a small elevator to help when you are bringing your luggage up or down. Like most of the places in the these city locations, the outside of the building is just a secured door. You have to go inside to appreciate the charm and the layout.
The apartment is centrally located to close to several restaurants, cafes, and many of Milan's historical attractions. Because of the historical attractions there was a lot of police and military security in the area-- which means that is very safe area.
Francesco has two apartments side by side in the building. He was very easy to get in touch with and fun to chat with. He was very helpful in giving us directions on how to get to the apartment from the airport and extremely accommodating when our in-bound plane was delayed and we arrived much later than we originally scheduled.
