We’re renting out our beloved family apartment located in Via Messina, right in the heart of the vibrant Paolo Sarpi / Chinatown neighborhood. This dynamic area is full of life, with plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops just around the corner.

The apartment is a peaceful, light-filled oasis perched on the sixth floor of a seven-story building. Thanks to its dual exposure, it offers breathtaking views of the CityLife and Gae Aulenti skyscrapers. Open the windows and you’ll hear birds chirping from the surrounding courtyards—remarkably peaceful for such a central location.

The apartment is centrally located and well-connected. You’ll find two metro lines nearby (green and lilla), as well as several bus and tram lines—making it easy to get anywhere in Milan.

• A large primary bedroom with a double bed and a work desk

About This Lister

We are two Italian journalists relocating to Boston for a year with our two children (aged 10 and 6). While we’re away, we’re hoping to find a family who can enjoy and take care of our home in Milan. We thought Listing Projects would be the perfect place to connect with like-minded people who appreciate thoughtful homes and community-minded living.
