I had a really nice 3 day stay in Milan at Tihana's place. The Navigli area (with its Canals and lots of terraces) is a really pleasant place to stay and has an amazing atmosphere to it. It's also quite close to the city center/cathedral, about 20 minutes walking.

Tihana (and her daughter) are very kind and always are willing to help you or give some advice. The bedroom and bathroom is clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend Tihana's place if you plan to stay in Milan.
