This is a great apartment for 4 (2x couples or a family of four with kids that don't mind sharing a bed), well located (walking distance from the Duomo and closer to the buzz of the canals at Navigli), a really nicely designed and thought through space, and perfect for lounging between trips around the city. It is Ilaria's home so there's no worries about it being set up for living in, as opposed to just being a place to lay your head. Ilaria was leaving for the weekend so very kindly offered us what was left in her fridge, as well as having prepared a breakfast basket for us and offered some wines. The beds are comfy and firm, there are two bathrooms (again, great for two couples), there are oodles of books and interesting magazines if you want to relax a while on the L-sofa or with a coffee from the Nespresso machine looking the big window onto the courtyard below. It's a quiet space, despite being on the edge of the old town and the central district. For location, it's only a pleasant ten minutes walk from Navigli which was just amazing on the Friday and Sunday nights we visited. The other way is the Duomo - a twenty minute walk past a few breakfast/coffee options. One point not connected with the apartment - if you're going to the Duomo and willing to pay €35pp for the private guided tour, don't get caught by the people wearing the 'Can I help?' t-shirts in the square. They are for a non-official tour company (Gladiator Tours, although there are probably others). Not really paying attention I got caught up in their patter and paid for the four of us to do their version, which was fine...but not what I thought I was paying for. The unofficial version is as many people as they can gather, then you're given a headset and follow a guide around the floor of the Duomo for 25 mins, you're then told to explore the crypt on your own, then you hang around for a bit before someone points you to the queue for the terraces, which you also do on your own. So basically €35 for a queue jump and a bit of mildly interesting info. What I saw when I was in there was little groups (of 4 or 6) with a single guide showing them round the whole building, and answering questions. Much more personal. I suspect that would have been better. Oh well, you live and learn. Go to the Duomo - it's amazing (although the best views are free from outside), go to Navigli for an evening of entertainment, and definitely spend some time in Ilaria's lovely apartment - it's fantastic!
