Our first time in Milan and I was not aware of distance of the main area. First day, we walked like 20,000 steps shopping around. So, location wise was not that close, still accessible via buses or metro. No complains about staff or room. Breakfast done at hotel for convenience. Same breakfast in all Italian locations! I can’t say it is not a safe zone, as I’m not familiar with the area but not a place you want to walk around at night. Specially if you are not local. But we did it and no problem at all. Not recommended. We found the way to use public transportation and it was great!
