Great place, in a great neighbourhood of a great town. If you are heading to Milan forget about finding a place downtown - Isola is the place to be. Very easy to reach from the Malpensa airport, this trendy neighbourhood has it all, cafes, pubs, restaurants...you name it and Isola will have it.
Giorgia's flat is a "casa di ringhiera", a typical house from Milan in the inside of the building (hint: no noise whatsoever) which still gets sunny (albeit not always). Stylishly decorated and spotless, this is the place to be if you are travelling alone or as a couple. Will be back whenever I am in Milan.
