Brera were very hospitable! We dropped our bags at their office and they had them taken to the apartment, whilst we hit the city.
We had the pleasure to meet the owner of the apartment, Corti - he was incredibly helpful. He arranged for a taxi to pick us up, and helped with our luggage on departure. Also, took us next door for un caffè as soon as we were set-up in the apartment.
The area was absolutely perfect! In the heart of Brera; galleries, cafes, food, boutiques and old cobble roads. At the same time it was a quiet place... The apartment was very large (maybe a little sparse in the lounge), great bathroom and bedroom with nice vintage touches.
