Massimo's Mansarda Della Musica is an exquisite apartment with superb design and finish. Apparently Mansarda means attic, and it's on the 5th floor, but there is an elevator, and there is little noise from the main Street below.
The main Street, via Independenza, is bustling and lively, and is colonnaded all the way to the main square/piazza 10 minutes walk away. In fact all of the main shopping Streets are colonnaded with these elegant arch vaulted covered walkways, all individually different.
The apartment is an easy 7 minute walk from the Centrale station, so even with a big wheelie it's an easy walk.
This apartment has been the accommodation highlight of my 7 week trip, being one of six places I've stayed from New York to Milan. I loved the look of it online, and had to reward myself by staying there.
A little bit of luxury and great value, can't recommend enough.
