We really loved our stay here! Francesca met us at the start of our stay to let us in and get us settled. The building is under renovation, but Francesca let us know ahead of time and we were not bothered by any noise. The apartment is in the Brera neighborhood which is filled with great shops and restaurants. We especially loved Princi for breakfast, Osteria da Fortunata for dinner and OGGI for gelato. The apartment location is walkable to all of the major sites in Milan. If walking isn't your thing- there is a taxi stand right across the street. Highly recommend!!!
