Apartment of about 50 square meters located on the second floor with an elevator! The apartment consists of an entrance hall, a living room/kitchen, a sleeping area, a bathroom with window and two small balconies. The apartment is entirely exposed on the planted internal courtyard and for this reason it is particularly quiet. It is not equipped with air conditioning but in the summer months we can provide fans on request. The interior spaces are divided in a functional way and equipped with everything needed to feel at home. From the entrance, crossing a small hallway, you enter the living area/kitchen of the apartment, furnished with a three-seater sofa which can be transformed into a single bed if necessary, a television and a table for four people. The open kitchen is equipped with everything needed for cooking (Nespresso coffee machine, oven, gas burners and fridge). Also from the hallway you enter the complete bathroom with shower where there is also a washing machine and the bedroom where, in addition to the double bed, there is space for a large wardrobe with hangers and a table for those who want to work smart. The heating is centralized. Very close to the apartment, there are shops of all kinds: a large supermarket (Carrefour), McDonald's, Upim, bars, restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, pharmacies, greengrocers, haberdashery, fishmongers, telephone shops, post offices, pastry shops, newsstands, etc. ************************************** You are on the edge of the characteristic "Isola" district, the historic district of Milan which derives its name from the construction of the railway which physically isolated this area from the rest of the city, transforming it into a sort of island.Developed as an area with a strong working and artisan vocation, the Isola district was transformed after the second post-war in a commercial area, becoming a symbol of the urban and social regeneration that has invested in Milan. Porta Nuova/Garibaldi/Vertical Forest is a modern and lively district with a beautiful park and many shops and can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. Brera is about 20/25 minutes away on foot and is a traditional "Milanese" style neighbourhood. A few minutes from the apartment is the Frida bar, a place especially loved by young people with a nice atmosphere. Also nearby is the Bar Bah, the Cru wine bar, the Café Gorille (just below the Bosco Verticale) and the Deus Ex Machina, excellent for aperitifs. One of the most famous jazz clubs in Milan is located right in the Isola district: the Blue Note, which boasts highly respected international artists. It is also a restaurant that offers creative gastronomic specialties ranging from typical Lombard cuisine to international cuisine. For those who want to try true Milanese cuisine, the Corner Milano, the Trattoria dal Verme, Guyot for risotto and the "Cotoletta" different from the traditional but very good are excellent. Here you can find commercial activities of all kinds, from the more deeply rooted and artisanal ones to the more modern ones. The Sanctuary of Santa Maria alla Fontana is a stone's throw away. It stands on an ancient source believed to be miraculous. In 1506, Charles II d'Amboise, governor of Milan under French rule, ordered the construction of the sanctuary after receiving a miraculous healing: the building became one of the most important health facilities in the city, together with the Lazzaretto. In the room of the miraculous source, rearranged with spouts of gushing water, there are instead singular sixteenth-century frescoes attributed to the workshop of Bernardino Luini. Continuing, in about 10 minutes you reach the new Milan Business Center in the Porta Nuova district with its famous square Piazza Gae Aulenti and the famous and award-winning Bosco Verticale. Continuing on, you get to Corso Como, Piazza XXV Aprile and Corso Garibaldi. ************************************************ In addition to being extremely served, this area allows you to move around the city comfortably and quickly, thanks to the many public transports (bus lines, trams and metro stops).
