The apartment’s location in the Brera District is great, not only is it a mere 5 minute walk from the Castello Sforezco and the Parco Sempione, the supermarket is across the street, with a wonderful pizzeria, gelataria on the same block.
The neighborhood is super stylish and beautiful, but not pretentious. Every time we made a different turn around the apartment, we discover a new street or alleyway, with interesting boutiques to look at.
The only quirk about the location is that it sits right next to the tram lines, and they rumble through the night (loud by NYC standards). I would advise sensitive sleepers to bring some ear plugs. Otherwise the unit itself worked out great, it is very spacious and the kitchen is well stocked with the basics, beds are comfy, laundry machine with detergent!
Last but not least, Paola is a great hostess who is gracious and helpful. I had a luggage crisis / panic and reached out to her for some recommendations and she got back to me right away. She also gave us some wonderful local restaurant recommendations which we enjoyed. Highly recommend.
