There isn’t a better place to stay in Milan! There are a lot of restaurants and bars right down stairs on both sides of the canal so you can easily try a different restaurant every night. There’s a bakery next door and a coffee shop rights across the bridge for a pick me up in the mornings. The closest M2 stop is about a block away maybe a 5 minute walk (if that) and there’s a taxi pick up area right beside it. You can easily take the train to Duomo or to Milan Centrale to jump on one of the high speed trains to other cities. The apartment was perfect. It has a very homey comfortable feel and there’s enough space where you don’t feel on top of each other. It feels like your visiting a friend or family member vs the sterile feel of a hotel. My sister, mother and I stayed for 5 nights. Everything we needed was provided including a hair dryer which I really appreciated since it was one last thing I had to pack! If we ever come back to Milan we will definitely stay here again!
