I was only in Milan for two nights, and Micol’s apartment was perfect. This was my first trip to Europe, and I operated my phone on airplane mode the entire time. The self check-in process was easy (Micol graciously let me check-in two hours early).
The apartment was neat, tidy and everything had been laid out exactly as Micol described. The building was undergoing some construction, so I didn’t spend much time with the patio doors open; but I peaked out and loved the space.
I took a shuttle bus from Linate to Centrale station, and then walked to the apartment. I’m sure there’s a faster route, but this was doable (~25 min walk after the bus). I wanted to familiarize myself with the area anyway.
On a map it seemed far to the center of Milan, but it was a very pleasant walk. I roughly charted the course one morning, and enjoyed grabbing espresso and focaccia along the way. I was surprised at how quickly I arrived at the Duomo and central area. The walk back wasn’t hard either, given the number of cafes and gelateria to stop by.
The neighborhood and space was fairly quiet at night, so it was perfect for my first few nights in Italy after traveling ~14 hours. I would certainly recommend you stay here if you’re going to be in Milan a few nights.
