We had only one day to explore Milan and the apartment was a cozy home base. The entrance is right off the alley, and we appreciated no stairs with our suitcases! The decor and furnishings are exquisitely stylish and sleek. This probably isn't a place where you're going to be cooking a 4-course dinner. But if you're looking for a place to rest after you explore the city, it's great. It was extremely quiet despite being in the middle of the city. The apartment also opens onto an interior courtyard with greenery. The area has a ton right near by, both shopping and cafes/restaurants. We appreciated the proximity to the metro so we could also easily explore other areas of the city. The apartment is also ideally located to get easily to Linate airport.
