location location location.... this place is very well situated for exploring Milan. it is clean and modern, and has everything you will need for a short term stay. we had problems with the air conditioning which eventually resolved, but overall the controls were very confusing, even for things like the lights- it was very modern but not very functional. it was also smaller than we were expecting- the bed is a fold-out from the couch, and the kitchen is hidden in cabinets (the whole place is one room). while the bathroom was large and the shower luxurious, the hot water heater was small. We also had some trouble sleeping due to noise from the street (even with windows closed and not on the qweeke s). At the same time our hosts were extremely attentive and when we had problems were immediately responsive. We loved being so close to major attractions as well as the metro. the building was very secure.
