APPARTAMENTO DIEGO, Milan

The apartment is set on a street just 150 metres from Porta IV Novembre entrance of Milano Centrale, giving direct access to high-speed trains, metro lines M2 and M3, and airport shuttle buses to Linate (8km), Malpensa and Bergamo. The area is safe, lively and well-served: a tram stop outside the building provides car-free access to Brera Art Gallery (3.2km), the Duomo and other central sights. Bosco Verticale is 1.3km away, and the surrounding block is filled with Asian and Italian restaurants, cafés, a supermarket and Asian grocery stores, all within a few hundred metres. Blended Tower is also 0.3km from the apartment. The apartment's courtyard-facing rooms shield it from street noise, while a busy but safe street front keeps the building feeling active day and night.

The 35m2 apartment sleeps up to three adults: one bedroom with a large comfortable memory-foam bed, and a sofa bed in the living room. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet, free toiletries and a hairdryer. The living room has a dining table, flat-screen TV with Netflix, and parquet flooring, while the balcony overlooks a quiet inner courtyard garden. The kitchenette is fully stocked with a stovetop, oven, fridge, electric kettle, Nespresso machine, and ample cookware, utensils and pantry basics. Air conditioning operates quietly and effectively, heating is provided, and extra touches include ironing facilities, a washing machine, tea and coffee-making kit, and parquet floors. The apartment is consistently described as extremely clean, spacious for its size, quiet despite its central location, and welcoming in feel.

The apartment's kitchenette is generously stocked to prepare real meals - including a full oven, stovetop, kettle, coffee machine, cookware and basic ingredients - making it easy to cook in. A welcome hamper includes fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread, butter, jam, biscuits, bottled water, juice, wine and Nespresso capsules, covering breakfast for at least the first day. Several restaurants, cafés and a supermarket are within a 2-minute walk: Boulangerie & Fruit, Why Not Cafe, Ristorante Jin, Taverna Gasparotto, Ristorante Gioia and Ristorante Shu are all 0.3km away, and international cuisine (especially Asian) is widely available in the immediate area. The apartment is an excellent base for self-caterers and those wanting spontaneous local dining.

The apartment offers free Wi-Fi which works reliably for remote work and streaming (Netflix available). The lift is modern and comfortable, accessed from the first floor. The electric washing machine adds convenience for longer stays. The host is described as exceptionally kind and helpful, providing personal check-in guidance, local tips, and flexibility with luggage storage or early access when the apartment is available. An invoice is provided upon request. There is no parking at or near the property, and no fitness, spa or pool facilities. The building and apartment are non-smoking throughout.

The private balcony overlooks a leafy inner courtyard that attracts birds, creating a calm green retreat in the city centre. The apartment includes a flat-screen TV with Netflix for evening relaxation, and the garden itself is visible from the bedroom window. There are no on-site recreational facilities such as a pool, spa, sauna or fitness room - this is a self-catering city base rather than a leisure destination. The primary 'leisure' benefit is the apartment's quiet comfort and the immediate access to Milan's cultural attractions on foot or by tram/metro.
