We had a great time in Karin e Abele’s flat, it is a beautiful flat with everything you need for a short break in Milan. Navigli is a very popular area, and the canal is great to walk along. You can walk to the Duomo in 30 minutes. The only minor thing to note is that the bedroom faces Porta Genova so you can hear the trains very easily - if you are a light sleeper this maybe something to consider
