Navigli is the most characteristic neighbourhood in Milan, the nigh life center full of bars and restuarants. Though touristic but nice for spending the weekend in Milan by the water. Especially in the summer evening, it's better to stay at Navigli than other areas as the atmosphere is friendly and pleasent.
The apartment is just a 15-20 mins walk to Duomo passing by the acient city gate and ruins.
Bruno and Rose will make your stay special because you are staying with an Italian family. The room and shower are clean, the view is exactly what you see from the photo, righ above the canal with view. The sound isolation of the window is good.
I enjoy having morning coffee/cookies with Bruno and Rose together and Bruno would give you some tips of Milan and Navigli. They are both very kind, sweet and helpful. Bruno used to be an English teacher so the communication is very smooth and Bruno sent many detailed information for arrival and check in.
I will definately stay here again if I visit Milan again!
