Alessandro's place is an absolute gem in Milan.
The place is sparkling clean, recently renovated, decorated with a clean modern style, and absolutely fantastic. Coming from the northern European standards of living, this place matches and exceed them. There is every piece of home appliance we needed from espresso maker to hair dryer to washing machine.
The apartment is situated in a quiet street, but literally only few steps from the canals, and walking distance from Duomo (and still well connected with trams/metro), so you have hundreds of options for dinner/drinks around you. There is also a bi-weekly street market close by in Viale Papiniano which is a good place for fresh fruit and veggies.
The apartment has skylights, and you can shower under the night sky if you wish! As the apartment is a attic room, the ceilings are partially low (though it's an issue in the bathroom mostly), hence I'd recommend taller-than-average travelers to keep it in mind especially if staying longer periods.
Alessandro is a wonderful host, quick and precise regarding communication, and the check in was really smooth and welcoming. He offered us a list of tips and places to visit.
I highly recommend Alessandro's place and will most certainly stay here again next time visiting Milan!
