As advertised, this is a very charming flat in a very convenient and beautiful location next to the Grand Canal. There is a tram stop right outside the front door that will take you to the Duomo in about 15 minutes (download the ATM Milano app to purchase tickets through your phone) and there is a Metro station a short walk away, but the immediate surroundings are more local and not overrun by tourists. The Navigli area is one of the cultural hotspots, with the Museum of Culture (containing the only Michelin three star restaurant in Milano, Enrico Bartolini) only a 15 minute walk from the flat.
The flat is very well appointed with large fridge, gas stove and everything else needed to self-cater if desired, but along the canal are many lively restaurants with lots of dietary options.
The restaurants are open late and there some nightclubs in the area that you can hear if you are outside, but the flat is very soundproof and we slept very well on the comfortable bed.
Our hosts Karin and Abele were very friendly and accommodating to our needs (traveling with two small children). We completely enjoyed our stay.
