First visit to Milan so we weren't sure about where we wanted to stay other than we wished to be central and we also really wanted an outside area. The terrace had comfortable seating and felt private - it exceeded expectations. From what we saw of Milan I'd say the location was second to none. The Colonne di San Lorenzo were spectacular and the area was vibrant with loads of eating and drinking choices. 15 mins walk south and you are in Navigli. 15 minutes north and you are at the Duomo. Brera was a little bit further but still easily walkable. Apartment is a very decent size and stylishly decorated. The only comment to be aware of is that if you plan on staying a long time then you may find the storage space for your clothing quite limited as much of the wardrobe hanging space is taken with the owner's clothes - we stayed 5 nights and found there to be just enough space. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here and I would choose to stay here again if I were to return to Milan.
