Alessandro's place is a very modernized place perfect for a shorter term stay or layover in Milan. Although there were some issues I would have no problem recommending this rental for people staying a shorter or modest amount of time in Milan. Everything is as pictured.
This apartment is a bit of an odd apartment since it is clearly a converted attic type space. But this space is very modern and very comfortable. Everything in the apartment is new and modern. The check-in was smooth and as I was a half hour late the person checking us in was very understanding and waited. Communication with the host was also very good as well.
The apartment is a far walk from the central train station about 35 minutes. Although the apartment is a 5-8 minute walk from the metro (Subway.) So I would recommend only renting if you are comfortable using the metro. The neighborhood is a residential area with some bars and clubs nearby but for the Duomo and the central area, you will need to use the metro.
The only issues I had were that the apartment building is oddly configured. first off the door to get into the building was very short. I know I am fairly tall at 6 foot 4 inches but the door to get into the courtyard was probably only somewhere between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches.
Also, there is a set of stairs (Ranging between 7-9 steps from what I remember) that you need to walk up when you get off the elevator. This isn't a big deal unless you have heavy luggage but just be aware of this.
Overall this is a nice rental esp for a short-term stay. Very clean and modern but with a building that is odd in its configuration and a place that will require you to use the metro if you want to explore the more touristy parts of the city.
