A lovely, stylish, peaceful spa-like apartment on a charming, lively Brera street lined with appealing caffes, shops, and restaurants. Very comfortable bed, good working ac, nice bathrooms. Regarding the complaints from a few reviewers about noise - we experienced very little courtyard noise (a child’s laugh, the closing of an iron gate from time to time) and from time to time just the slightest underground rumble of a passing subway train - no issue at all, at least to us NYC residents. (Indeed the loudest sounds were provided by the cheerful morning song of a blackbird in the courtyard!). Absolutely perfect location a couple of blocks from the Castle and beautiful Sempione park, and within easy strolling distance of the Galleria, the Duomo, La Scala, the fashion district, Pinacoteca, Last Supper, and much more. Easy communication and interactions with Francesca, including smooth checkin and departure. Highly recommended!.
