Chris's place is right in the middle of the action in a lively area of Milan, however situated back in a courtyard setting where you won't here any noise. Chris was extremely flexible on a late checkout time at a minimal cost. I will stay there again! There is a supermarket around the corner towards the metro station Porta Genova. You can catch tram number 3 from the Darsena to piazza Duomo. It is a good idea to actually walk back when the weather is nice. It takes approx. 30-40 mins.
