This cute apartment is such a perfect location for many reasons, but my goal was to be walking distance from the conference center and I really lucked out with a pleasant, shady, neighbor-filled walk each morning and afternoon. I'm a big fan of the wide centrally-opening windows famous in the old buildings of Europe, and this apartment is full of them! The Milan soccer team won a championship one of the nights I was there, and we were surrounded by celebrations into the early morning. I count that as a major "positive" and other than that one night, it is a quiet mixed residential area and I really loved it. I rented a car for the last couple of days of my trip and there is parking on the street outside the house if you get lucky, but worst case there are parking lots within a few blocks' walk. The rate is 2 euros per hour between 8:00am - 7:00pm, free at other times.
