We felt very comfortable. The flat was - as described - in a very good location. The canale naviglio and the old center (duomo) are within walking distance, which is why no subway ticket is necessary. :)
The balcony we liked best! The view of passers-by was very very nice. :) The traffic is not loud.
Anyone interested in old LP's : Max has a great record collection on the wall in the hallway. :)
