We had a great stay at Paride's apartment. The location was solid, it's a short walk to the #2 tram or 325/351 buses, or a 10-15 min walk to the Porta Genova station if you'd like a leisurely stroll along the canal. There are also restaurants and local shops within walking distance. The neighborhood is generally quiet, unless there is a party/birthday but the neighbors are mindful of the noise level. The apartment itself is good. Paride provides all the basic tools if you want to cook your own meal. There's a washer inside and the bathroom is equipped with both a shower and a tub if you want to soak in a bath. We had a bit of trouble with the wifi at first, but Paride wasted no time in coming up to help us fix it. We had no problems with it afterwards. He also had a ton of helpful tips for places to check out and for navigating the city. I'd recommend his place for people looking for an inexpensive place to crash and I'll be looking up his apartment again the next time we return to Milan. Thanks Paride!
