Tiziana and Davide’s stylish apartment is a jewel. Beautifully decorated with artworks, objects and shelves laden with books. The private room is airy and surprisingly quiet considering the central location. Turn left and you’re immediately in the heart of Brera. The road right takes you to the quiet green space of Sempione Park and the Castello. Lanza metro station is on its doorstep, in 10 minutes you’re at the foot of the Duomo. The bed is very comfortable and having a kettle in the room for a morning coffee, plus a few breakfast things provided, is a thoughtful touch. Tiziana and Davide are incredibly friendly and kind, offering many local tips and lovely conversation, making my visit to Milan a truly memorable one.
