Gil's apartment is conveniently located in the center of Brera, you can't ask for a better spot. Lots of restaurants, cafe and shopping around. The apartment itself is clean and simple, has everything you need (just bring coffee). Many reviewers noted the street noise, it is true for light sleepers. The downstairs cafe opens at 6am, so be ready to hear some rumbling. Since it's a quick in-and-out Milan trip for us, the apartment was perfectly fine.
