We really enjoyed our time at Stefano's apartment. The place was super clean and spacious with lots of daylight with a modern unique design. Also very well equipped with all the essentials for a long-term stay.
The apartment is not in the central area of Milan but we knew this and it worked well for us as we wanted to be away from the busy tourist area so we can get a feel of ordinary neighbourhoods and be able to try local cafes and restaurants. There is 8 minute walk to the nearest train station which can take you to almost everywhere in Milan. The unit is on the main street but it is a quiet neighbourhood so it was just the normal car noise at night which wasn't a bother to us at all.
Check-in was smooth, we arranged the check-in time and met with Stefano's friend to get the key. They were both very flexible with our schedule.
Stefano send us a list of recommended cafés and restaurants in the neighbourhood, we tried a few of them and they were all good, especially the ice cream place at the corner of Accademia street (Gelateria Accademia 64).
From the look of the unit, you will learn that Stefano has great taste in fashion and design; for that reason, I asked him for good places to visit for unique fashion and brand items and he generously spent time coming up with a long list of unique boutiques and departments stores for luxury and non-luxury fashion purchases. We didn't get a chance to visit them all but that's a list to stay with us for the next time we visit Milan and stay at Stefano's place.
Definitely recommend this unit to anyone who wants to have a relaxed and enjoyable stay in Milan.
