I was only at Elena's for one night as Milan was just a stopover to get my flight home. Elena had to go out of town unexpectedly so I did not meet her. The apartment was very nice. The location worked well for me as it is a short bus ride to Linate airport. I walked 30 minutes to see the Duomo but I believe there is a bus that will get you there. Enjoyed a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant.
