We loved staying in the Navigli - I would compare it to the East Village of New York City - young, hip, artistic vibe. Francesca and Paolo were very communicative and helpful. The apartment is cute and small - but this is to be expected in the city and is a good value in this price range. This neighborhood was the perfect location to explore Design week as it was close to Tortona district with alot of events and installations. However, because it is in this young, hip area it is rather noisy at night as there are bars and restaurants on the street right below the apartment - just depends on the experience you're looking for. Easy to access public transportation.
