Stefania's apartment was beautiful and very large, it feels larger than we expected. Adding to this effect are the ceilings which appear to be almost 4 meters (12') high. Stefania has clearly invested much time and expense to make her apartment(s) wonderful for her guests. All of the furniture, fixtures, finishes, appliances (incl. air conditioning) etc. are completely new, modern style, and in excellent taste. The overall effect is luxurious and calming. The building, and the apartment itself, feel very safe and secure, but if that were not enough there is a police station across the street! It is a few minutes walk to a metro stop and a few minutes more to some very good restaurants. In the mornings, I recommend Nik's coffee shop right on the corner :-) If you take the train to Milan (we drove) you could probably walk from the Central Station to the apartment.
