We could not have been more thrilled with the location. We knew we wanted to stay in the Brera neighborhood, and Paola's place is on one of the most idyllic streets in the area. We were very close to the Lanza metro station, cute shops, restaurants and cafes. It's a short walk to all of the tourist sites around the Duomo, but you're removed enough to feel calm and quiet and out of the fray. The apartment itself is lovely, open and airy, and had all of the amenities that we required. We were always happy to come "home" at the end of a long day, and we were very sad to leave. There is some street noise (trams passing) that could be jarring for some people used to a silent night of sleep, but we actually found the rhythm soothing and we slept very soundly every night. The decor is understated and comfortable, and Paola is a wonderful and responsive host. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Thanks Paola!
