About this apartment rental

Welcome to Your Authentic Milanese Escape

Immerse yourself in the true, vibrant essence of Milan. This luminous apartment offers the perfect blend of 19th-century history and modern urban convenience. It is located inside a characteristic 1860s traditional "casa a ringhiera" (the iconic Milanese railing house) equipped with an elevator. Situated at the very corner of the famous pedestrian Via Paolo Sarpi, you will step right into the beating heart of Chinatown—a unique urban village where the aromas of oriental spices and traditional Italian panettone blend into an unforgettable atmosphere.

Whether you are visiting for a world-class concert, an international fashion exhibition at Rho Fiera, or a romantic getaway, this exclusive refuge is your ideal base.

The Space & Comfort

The apartment is rented for your total exclusive use, ensuring absolute privacy. It combines historic architectural charm with functional, welcoming interiors—perfect for families, digital nomads, or friends traveling together.

The Bedroom: A quiet, intimate sanctuary featuring two comfortable french beds (130x190 cm) upgraded with premium toppers for a deeply restorative sleep. It includes a spacious wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

The Living Area: A bright open space at the entrance featuring a fully equipped kitchen (gas stove, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle), a large square dining table with 4 chairs, and a sofa that easily transforms into a third bed (130x190 cm). This setup offers maximum layout flexibility.

The Bathroom & Beyond: A tidy bathroom with a bathtub (fully usable as a shower), washbasin, toilet, and bidet. The anteroom (antibagno) provides a large mirror and convenient coat hangers.
Accessibility & Inclusivity:

The property is proudly accessible for wheelchair users. The entrance features a double door with no internal steps, allowing smooth movement throughout the rooms. The elevator is easily accessible. The bathroom is reachable (tested with a 53 cm wide wheelchair), though the inner layout does not allow for a full 360-degree turning radius.

Dream Walks: Explore Milan on Foot

Our guests’ favorite way to discover the city is simply by walking from the front door. You are perfectly placed for three unforgettable walking itineraries:

The Historic Route (Duomo - 2.5 km): Walk through the green alleys of Parco Sempione, pass the majestic Arco della Pace, explore the Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco), and arrive right at the Duomo Cathedral.

The Artistic Soul: Stroll through Corso Garibaldi, cross the cobblestone streets of Brera (the artists' district), pass the world-renowned La Scala Theater, and enter the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

The Futuristic Milan: Walk toward the spectacular Piazza Gae Aulenti, gaze at the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova, relax at the Biblioteca degli Alberi (Trees Library), and reach the iconic CityLife and the famous Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest).

Unbeatable Transport & Connections

Everything you need is just steps away. The neighborhood is a pedestrian paradise, completely free from heavy car traffic.

Tram 12 & 14 (200 meters away): Line 14 takes you directly to Piazza Duomo, skirting the ancient Arena and Sforza Castle.

Tram 10 (350 meters away, in front of Fabbrica del Vapore): Your direct line straight to the lively Navigli canals (perfect for the ultimate Milanese aperitivo) and to both Porta Garibaldi and Central Stations.

Metro M5 Monumentale (600 meters away): Direct line to the San Siro Meazza Stadium, Isola, and Bicocca degli Arcimboldi. Also ideal for reaching the Rho Fiera exhibition center.Metro

M2 Moscova (800 meters away): Quick access to Cadorna and Central Stations.

Parking: A secure, paid public garage (managed by third parties) is available just 200 meters from the property.

Bonus for European Blue Badge holders: While Via Paolo Sarpi is a pedestrian area, guests with a European disabled parking pass can freely access the ZTL zone and drive right up to the front door.

Culture, Food & Entertainment at Your Doorstep You won’t even need to cook. Right below the house, the pedestrian area comes alive with dozens of unique restaurants, street food stalls, artisan shops, bars, supermarkets, and tech stores.

Cultural landmarks like the Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory art center) and the ADI Design Museum are right behind the house, while the historic Monumental Cemetery is just a short stroll away.

Concerts & Major Events:Are you in town for a show? We are strategically located just 15 to 40 minutes away from Milan's premier event venues: San Siro Stadium, Ippodromo SNAI La Maura, Unipol Forum di Assago, Milano Ice Skating Arena, and Arena Santa Giulia.

A Peaceful Haven in the Metropolis

Thanks to the pedestrian zone, the apartment is exceptionally well-insulated from city traffic noises. The windows are fitted with double glazing and traditional wooden shutters to guarantee a peaceful night's rest. In the peak of summer, if you choose to sleep with open windows, you might catch the pleasant, distant murmur of neighborhood life—a soft vibe that is significantly quieter than the usual metallic roar of city traffic.

The apartment was very nice and Guiliana was very accommodating and helpful in terms of navigating the city. She gave her personal insight and made me feel excited and safe to stay in her listing.

Amazing apartment in an ideal location, with a wonderful host! The apartment was smartly laid out and equipped with everything we needed! The host was communicative, helpful, and very friendy - we had a few urgent (and very unique) requests we asked for her help with and she went above and beyond, solving every problem and never made us feel bad for asking (no problems with the apartment at all, just personal matters that came up). Everything worked well and the beds were all comfortable. The location was great and we found an amazing restaurant nearby that was our staple for the whole week! We could walk virtually anywhere in Milan with ease and comfort, food and supplies were plentiful and perfect, and the building was very cute and easy. One of the people in our group is in a wheelchair and has zero mobility in his legs, and he had no trouble with the building or the apartment at all (though, his wheelchair is pretty small [53cm wide] and a larger one would have difficulty accessing the bathroom - fyi). I honestly cannot say enough nice things about the apartment (or the host!) - it was the perfect place to stay and if (when!) we head back to Milan we will definitely stay there again!

We came for a trade show. The approximation to Brera and Porta Garibaldi was a key search for us. Living room with open kitchen and dining table. Good clean bathroom. Small Bedroom with two futons and one more futon in living - total making 3. Easy can accommodate 3 people sleeping spaciously. Bedding was good even for a picky traveler. The bedroom window goes to a very busy Main Street in China town. I used ear plugs so for me this was not a problem. Also do not turn on MW and electric kettle at the same time because the European breakers are very sensitive. The building has an elevator which is a huge thing for travelers in Italy. Giuliana is a wonderful host, accurate and responsive. I hope to be able to stay there again next year.
