We stayed in Alex's place for several days on business trip to Milan.
For the most part, the flat was pretty cool. I really liked the neighbourhood and the general location. Lots of cool shops, cafes and restaurants all around!
I will say that the flat is better suited for someone looking for a one bedroom or traveling with a small family. One bedroom sits off the kitchen and is only seperated by a curtain and not very private! I think if it was set up as a one bedroom flat, it would have a much cooler vibe!
