Home away from home. This is how we felt in Laura’s apartment. The apartment was spacious and clean. It contained the basic cooking equipment and the necessary crockery for breakfasts and dinners at home. Supermarket around the corner. The washing machine and drier was the best after 5 weeks of roaming around Europe. The location was simply spectacular. Brera is quite a beautiful area of Milan and it was only a 15 minute walk to the centre (Il Duomo) and close to many other areas of interest in Milan. Close to public transport as well; both the metro and trams. Even though Brera is quite a busy area of Milan, as soon as you enter the court yard in which the apartment is situated, the sound of the outside world seems to disappear. It is a really quiet and peaceful space. Laura, the host was quick to respond to our queries and the folder left in the apartment with instructions and information about the apartment and recommendations about restaurants and other activities was most useful.
