Simone's flat was warm and cozy. We could find everything we needed there from hair dryer through moka pot and coffee to fresh towels. It is situated just between the city center and the Brera district, which is an ideal location for exploring the city. It's easily accessible from the Centrale train station and well connected to the public transport network. La Scala is also easily accessible on foot. Simone was answering all my questions rapidly and arranged everything to our full satisfaction. Just around the corner there is one of the best bakeries I have seen in Milan and you can have a great Italian breakfast there.
