This might be a long review but the tldr is please stay here it’s genuinely one of the coolest locations in all of Milan and has a lot of special things about it. For westerners I will say this is a very no frills Airbnb, when I got there there was no toilet paper even. The caretaker who has the keys does not speak English (but he is very sweet) Also the wifi broke halfway through my stay. All this is overshadowed though by the absolutely outstanding environment this Airbnb is in. You are in the best and I mean the absolute best location in Milan. The best restaurant I ate at in my entire stay is literally inside of the building. You have a main train station a block away and perfect shopping districts both north and south of the location. It’s quiet at night once the restaurants close but is pretty loud until then. I have been all over Milan and Italy in general and I don’t think there is a better location to stay if you can get past the issues.
Some tips for westerners
Vodafone is the best cell network
Esselunga and carefour market are your close grocery stores and eataly is kind of like a Trader Joe’s
Visit the cemetery if you can.
It was a truly magical experience.
