We had the most wonderful few days staying in Matilde and her family's beautiful apartment in Brera. The location couldn't be better and the apartment itself was more than ideal, especially for ourselves travelling with three small children. It is large, light, recently refurbished and with every comfort we could ask for. Matilde was waiting for us when we arrived, showed us how everything worked, and had thoughtfully provided maps and other local magazines showing what's on in the city. I think, for us personally with small children, our stay wouldn't have been any better in a 5* hotel - the kids had toys to play with in their bedroom (belonging to Matilde's own children) and we had the flexibility of being able to cook meals for the baby at home. I would recommend anyone looking to stay in the best part of Milan in a proper family home to book Matilde's apartment.
