As indicated in our full five star ratings across the board, we loved the hosts, the apartment and comfort of our stay. The linens were top quality, the rain shower a blessing after a long day touring and the kitchen area convenient for breakfast and snacks. The three flight walk up is very doable as the steps are not steep and are well lit. This is coming from two senior citizens! Building security is top notch; we always felt safe. Paolo met us at the apartment promptly and placed our luggage in storage in the apartment as we arrived early (by 5 hours!).
The Brera area is charming and loaded with great cafes and restaurants. Two of our favorites were Bodega for breakfast (best coffee!), La Prosciuteria for a charcuterie lunch with lovely Tuscan rose wine, and Princi Bakery for Apertivo! Get into the Apertivo spirit immediately. Best bargain in Milan. 7-10 euro cocktails/wine and all you can eat fingerfood.
The apartment is located in easy walking distance from Cadorna if you are coming in from the airport. It is also easy to walk to the Sforza Castle, Duomo and even The Last Supper at Piazza Sta Maria Della Grazie.
