I agree with most everything that has been said. I will only add that whatever shortcomings you may perceive were compensated for by Chiara’s warm presence and hospitality. My needs were very specific: I needed to find a reasonable place to stay in the midst of Fashion Week. This location also gave me an opportunity to get outside of the “Milano centro” bubble where I usually stay. There are easy connections via the subway, plenty of cafes and bars although the big grocery store was beyond my walking range there were mom&pop shops nearby. The big bonus is the large nearby park. Enjoy your stay!
