Pietro is a classy guy, the expression of which you can find in all the little details that make this small-but-cozy room come recommended. It smelled of orchids, had lots of books, a beautiful antique armoire and included a few chocolates, waters and beers in the mini fridge.

I will say it might be a bit cramped for two people, but as a solo traveler it worked just fine for me. I came to Milan for the shopping, and the location in Brera was perfect. It's not far from the high-end fashion houses, but most of what you find in the immediate area are some of the smaller, high quality, family-owned Milanese boutiques. But again, you're a quick walk from all the greatest Italian fashion and right next to at least four restaurants.

Pietro was very helpful and answered any questions I had quickly.
