A comfy convenient rental, near Milano Central station and the red and green Metro lines. For travelers who don't mind being a bit outside the tourist throng, this is a well appointed choice at a good value, a brief Metro ride or half hour walk from main attractions.
Neighborhood: 2 blocks off a main shopping street -- Corso Buenos Aires-- in easy walking distance of transportation, banking, good restaurants( del Treno, Angolo d'Abruzzo, Carpaccio), pizza, gelati, fast food, clothes, trinkets, etc. We did not feel any lack of safety in what seems a mostly residential area with a main commercial street. The building itself has two locked doors and a friendly concierge. There is some street noise, even at night.
The Apartment: As decribed/pictured. 4th floor/ elevator. A bit sparse on furnishings, but uncluttered is good, IMHO. Roomy for a couple, but probably also okay for a family with one or two small children or a party of as many as four young people who are easy with one another. A bedroom with a good closet and comfy "matrimonial" bed, a bathroom with a tub/shower (sunflower head) and large medicine cabinet, and good sized living-dining-kitchen area, with a table for 4, a 2-or-3-seater sleep sofa, a large flatscreen TV, a dual-fuel range, clothes washer and dishwasher. No manuals for washer or dishwasher but operation was straightforward and worked fine. For those intent on cooking, beware the lack of a microwave and the cast-off kitchenware, but basic meals at home are still manageable. Large fridge/freezer. Controlling the temperature of the small-capacity, on-demand water heater was a bit tricky. Linens were of medium quality, but lots of them. Numerous leftover kitchen provisions and bath toiletries ought to be culled. No views from the narrow balcony, but it's pleasant in good weather, faces east for morning sun. Windows w/blackout metal shutters. Independent HVAC. Good internet connection.
Management: Owners were genial and responsive by email before the rental and during and after arrival (we requested a kitchen item that was delivered with an hour). We were met by the owners' agent, who was perhaps not quite up on the apartment features, but affable and attentive.
In sum, we were quite satisfied with this accommodation and recommend it.
(Two notes:
-- I'm a long-time VRBO renter (15+ yrs) mostly in Italy, Spain and DC, USA.
-- 4 stars is intended to be relative to choices comparable in price and amenities
