Brera is better than the touristy Duomo. One'd feel "like a local" staying at this beautiful apt in a beautiful building on a main street of Brera. Looking down from the balcony, one would see the old street lining w cafes and bars and restaurants, but at night there is not much noise. A perfect place. Filippo also provides a list of many restaurants, shops, cafes in the neighborhood and a list of major museums/attractions throughout Milan w addresses.....well curated. We would stay here again
