We spent 3 nights at Laura's Brera self contained apartment. It is precisely as described by her. Smallish but perfectly adequate for two people, with everything in it that you need. The area is buzzy, with lots of bars and restaurants and most landmarks are within a 1.5kg radius. ie everything within walking distance. The apartment is located at the back of the building on the third floor, overlooking a garden. This location minimises noise from the street. We had the windows open at night and had a few mosquito problems, nothing repellent or a spray won't solve. Laura provides fresh fruit, a list of suggestions on eating and drinking and directions to the apartment. It is about Euro8 by taxi from Milano Centrale.
We will be recommending this to our friends.
