Whatever comments I make about the apartment specifically do NOT apply to Daniela, the hostess, who was there for us before, during and after our visit. We planned to arrive at Linate, then take city transport to the railway station. She made sure we knew of the shuttle between the two. She was there when we arrived and gave us a complete rundown of the various ways to get to and from downtown.
That said, we felt the best aspect of this apartment was its location: within walking distance of the railway station, all three Metro lines, and Tram 1. It is a small studio apartment; the one bed is a queen size sofa bed. Like every sofa bed I have ever encountered (and we had one at our house years ago), the mattress is a compromise between comfort and necessity. It needs to be thin enough to fold. This one sagged toward center and was barely soft enough for me. Also, when the bed is open, there is very little space to navigate in the apartment.
The apartment is one of a number in the same building. It is on the first floor (the one above the ground floor) with at least two more floors above. At night you hear noises from the hall and other apartments: footsteps, talking, water running. These tend to disappear later in the evening, so they do not interfere with sleeping. However, the city collects trash on Saturday morning, so if you are there on a Friday night, you may hear the hotel next door emptying all their bottles early Saturday.
The kitchen area has a four-burner stovetop plus oven (no microwave that we could find) and a mini-refrigerator. Daniela provided coffee and a coffee maker, and showed us how to use it. There are plenty of plates, cups, glasses, and tableware. We were only there two nights, and ate all of our meals out. So, except for making coffee one morning, we did not use the kitchen equipment.
There were also extra blankets and pillows, although the apartment was plenty warm on the cold nights we were there. The bathroom is clean, with plenty of soap and towels. There is a TV; we did not use it.
If the idea of a sofa bed is OK with you (or if you are a single visitor, you can always sleep on the unfolded sofa), you can't beat this location.
