High ceilings and historic character in a very comfortable apartment with a great open door on small terrace overlooking the Naviglio Grande. A/c cools off fairly quickly and made staying here quite comfortable. It's a busy area of MIlan, lots of people on weekends especially- so the triple windows are quite useful. A few hundred yards from the subway- very convenient- with the streetcar #2 stopping right at the front door going to the Duomo. Opening the front portone into the quiet red carpeted hallway off the street was always a welcome respite.
