This apartment is really well situated for central Milan - a 2 minute walk to the excellent Milan public transport system although the slight downside of this is that the apartment can be a little noisy if you open the windows. It's a 5 minute walk to a local commercial centre with a really good supermarket open till 2200 hours.
The check-in arrangements worked well and the host was very helpful and friendly.
There is a great little cafe (Rico's place) just 50 metres up the road - really friendly with good coffee, croissants etc.
Daily travel tickets can be bought from the newspaper kiosk across the road from the cafe.
There are some really good eating places within a 10 minute walk - we especially liked Pizzeria Uno Piu (a two minute walk) and Dai Due Fratelli (about 15 minutes away) - both really friendly, good value and great food.
If you're flying into Malpensa the transit buses make a stop just down the road from the apartment so you don't need to go all the way into the city centre.
Altogether a great stay - thanks!
