When in Milan, stay in Nivigli. Especially here at Maria Antonella's place. It is right on the corner of a old but restored building on the grand canal where easy access to a good range of restaurants downstairs, the nightlife where happy hours are plenty and some live music in the streets nearly every night. It was easy walking distance to the market on Tuesday, a little further to the Duomo and the centre, but if you like travelling on foot like us, you can do it at a slow pace around half an hour. Maria's communication was exceptional via the app and when we didn't have data before we arrived, Nicola was there waiting to welcome us. He also offered the option to be dropped off at the airport for a fair price. Thanks for the chat on the way! The pair were great hosts!
