Looking for a B&B in Milan in a well-connected, quiet area close to the centre, without the prices (and chaos) of the most touristy districts? Maciachini and Zara are among the city’s most underrated choices: convenient, residential and directly connected by two metro lines.
In this guide we explain why this area is a smart choice for your stay in Milan and how to choose the right B&B for you among our Moon Apartments, 14 apartments in the same building at Via Paolo Bassi 22.
Maciachini-Zara: why it’s worth staying here
Maciachini and Zara are two neighbouring districts in the north of Milan, served by the M3 (yellow) and M5 (lilac) metro lines. In just a few minutes you can reach:
- Milano Centrale and the main railway hubs
- Porta Garibaldi and the Isola district
- The historic centre (Duomo, Brera) in about 15–20 minutes
- Fiera Milano City and the main business districts
Unlike more central areas, prices here are more affordable and the atmosphere is truly residential: you experience Milan like a local, not a passing tourist.
