This apartment is the IDEAL place for a stay in Milan! Simone provides a very detailed guide not only to the apartment but also to the neighborhood and the city, and most of the main sites and essential places-- grocery, bank, pharmacy, gelateria--are in walking distance. Even though there was a huge (and inspiring) Earth First demonstration in the nearby Piazza Castello the first day we arrived , and Sforza Castle is steps away, the apartment itself was completely quiet. The hosts are very welcoming and available, and Jennifer even stayed to meet us after we arrived on a very late flight. Also, it's very easy to get from the airport by train by bus or train to the Cadorna station, which is an easy walk or one metro stop from the apartment. Great hosts, great apartment--we will definitely stay there again on any future trips to Milan!
