Paola was very helpful, meeting us and showing us how to use the water in the bathroom and the kitchen, and also making sure we knew how to make sure that the hot water was on.

The location is very convenient to the Castello, the Pinacoteca di Brera, il Duomo, and more. There is also a taxi rank very nearby. Trams 2, 14 and 16 stop just outside. There is a little market across the street.

The location by several cafes made for a fun and delightful stay.

If you are a light sleeper, you do want to bring earplugs, especially on the weekends when revelers at nearby outdoor cafes can be up late; and because the streetcar passes early.
