We only stayed for two nights in Milan but it was easy enough to find Paolos apartment. It was easy to get in using the automated system. The apartment was plenty big enough for the three of us and had a little balcony. It had a kitsch bohemian feel in keeping with the neighbourhood and the gelato place nearby really did do the best gelato! A lidl is a two minute walk, there's two coffee shops below and the canal is only a few roads away where the tram to centre runs. There's lovely local places to go cheaper than in the centre, and some great bars and nightlife (although was very quiet in August during our visit as to be expected). The no 2 tram takes you into the centre in about ten-fifteen minutes and tickets can be bought from a couple of the cafes on the main road. All in all a great little base to see Milan on a budget - not too far from the hustle and bustle of the centre but with a great insight into the local creative scene.
