We stayed 2 nights at Federica's apartment during our visit to the Salone. Her friend Elena went out of the way to bring us the keys since we had to work until late. The apartment is situated within walking distance to Brera which was perfect for us. Unfortunately, we didn't have as much time as we wished to discover the quarter since it is very nice and offers many places to sit, have a coffee and enjoy life. Even though not far away from Brera, the part of town is quiet and residential. We had our breakfast just across from the apartment and in the pedestrian zone around the corner and really good ice cream just across the street. We also found a super good restaurant called La Madia Campagnola with Piemontese food. If we come back next year to the Salone we would be very happy to stay with Federica and Elena again.
