The apartment was the perfect location for access to the Milano Congressi where I was attending a conference (15 minutes on metro) and for accessing the centre of the city. The immediate location is great - next to Piazza Gae Aulenti where there is a big supermarket, plenty of places to have a coffee and a large open space for you to walk around (or indeed your children). It is around the corner from Corso Como and lots of restaurants and bars. Short metro ride to Duomo or you could walk it in about 25 minutes if you were feeling like it. We also walked to Parco Sempione in about 20 minutes which was lovely and great for our toddler. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and very spacious. Quiet, safe and well equipped. The washing machine was very useful. Overall, great apartment and location. Highly recommended.
