The Space
"Milano Porta Venezia" (MPV ) is a 55 square meters completely renovated apartment: modern amenities with vintage charme! It consists of a kitchen/living-room with balcony (very useful for smokers) and a corridor that takes to the independent night area. The corridor leads to 2 separate bed-rooms and to the bathrooms. It is soundproof, so you will not hear any noise and sounds and you will not be waked by morning sun light because metal shutters block it out. "Milano Porta Venezia” ( MPV) is your ideal starting point for any urban and suburban itineraries; it is a fantastic location: nestled perfectly between the cathedral/Duomo (4 min.) and Centrale railway Station (5 minutes) where there are shuttle buses connecting directly to Malpensa and Orio al Serio airports. A 10 minutes walk, or with the nearby bike-sharing, you can get to the famous “Quadrilatero della Moda” (Fashion District) in the heart of the city, maybe with a stop by the historical Porta Venezia gardens. These can be used for outdoor physical activities and to make children play. The fastest way (19 minutes) to visit Rho Fiera is the “Passante Ferroviario” (Railway Bypass): its station is right in front of “your” apartment, and it is called, needless to say, Milano Porta Venezia. Como lakes can be reached in less than one hour.
Outlet Serravalle Scrivia is connected by a shuttle that stops out of the building.
MPV is the perfect apartment for holidays, business trips, shopping week-ends, Fashion and Design week, furniture exibition week, even for families with children.

The Neighbourhood
From "Milano Porta Venezia" you can explore and experience Milan comfortably and in style! The "shopping street" district has a colorful and diverse nature. To be a central district, it has indeed its own strong identity: just take a look at Via Panfilo Castaldi, and you will see a glorious road that opens like a theater scene with the nineteenth-century banner of the historical hat shop, or try also to go to the Popolare bookshop in Tadino street. As the writer Giorgio Fontana says: "Porta Venezia is “a little happy island in many large streets ". Now the district is evolving in an interesting way: hipster locations appear more and more. It is a neighborhood that has a heart; a heart that beats many different rhythms. It has fantastic craft shops, cafes and restaurants with great chefs for all tastes and budgets. Here you can eat both cooked and raw food, vegetarian and organic menus and, of course, delicious courses of the Italian and Milanese tradition!
