Alice's apartment was great indeed.
If you are going to Milan with friends or just looking for a lively, vibrant neighborhood to stay in, you should stay at Alice's.
Navigli is full of nice restaurants and bars and the only problem, regarding that, could be if you go to sleep early and hear the music still going on downstairs at the bar, but we didn't have a problem with that.
The apartment is fully equipped, at perfect location, near to metro station and it has such a lovely balcony with a canal view.
To us, the only problems were regulation of water in shower (we couldn't set it to the wanted temperature) and poor working Wi-Fi.
Except that, everything was great.
I would definitely recommend and return to Alice's apartment. :)
