We liked the location of the apartment. In a very residential section of the city, but not a long walk from the metro (Porta Romana station). Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and just a short trolley ride to the very cool neighborhood of Navigli (the area with the canals). Also... the apartment has big windows, so you can get plenty of natural light when you want it, but you can close the rolling shutters if you want to sleep late in the morning (with the shutters closed, it can be pitch black inside). All-in-all, the place was just what we were looking for....
