Away from the bustle, close to it all
Here you can sleep in a quiet residential neighbourhood, away from the busy tourist streets. From your balcony you can still see the Gae Aulenti skyline, so the city never feels far away. You're 2 minutes from the M5 and about 8 minutes from Garibaldi and Corso Como.
It's the best of both worlds: a tranquil break from the city bustle in the evening, with Milan just outside the door.

Meet Christina
Hello, I'm Christina. I was born in London to Italian and Spanish parents, and Milan has been my home for more than 20 years. I've been welcoming guests since 2015, and I still get a real thrill when someone tells me my home made their trip.
I care about the details. After booking, you'll receive my digital guest guide, with tips on transport, restaurants, museums and day trips. If you need anything before or during your stay, I'm happy to help.
