I can't say enough about signora Paola's kindness and attentiveness to a guest's needs. The apartment is clean and efficient with all modern appliances in perfect working order. But that's only the start!
I chose this location because I was curious about the neighborhood around the naviglio Martesana (the "small naviglio") and this choice greatly exceeded my expectations. The house faces a pedestrian/cycle zone that runs along the naviglio for a few miles, an area that is greatly enjoyed by the locals, but (to my surprise) few tourists. There are two cafes just around the corner and several good restaurants in the neighborhood, including a night club and a cabaret (Zelig). I found myself quite happy to spend time in the neighborhood, but, for exploring all that Milan has to offer, two subway stops (Turro and Gorla) are within an 8 min walk. This has been the most enjoyable stay I have ever had in Milan.
