I had 11 nights on my own in Milan so decided to split my time between Francesca’s Brera apartment and this one in the Fashion District.
I found this apartment was very homely and looked forward to returning each night. I loved the bright and cheery Lisa Corti furnishings throughout the apartment and felt completely safe there alone. Although there is a doorman on the first level, I used the lift to the side street level secured entry to come and go.
Being on the top floor general the street noise is reduced but the neighbour’s television may disturb sleep for some. I’m not used to city apartment living so I may be more sensitive than others.
Every room faces the lovely terrace and external shutters on all windows block the light for sleeping as there is no bedroom door. I loved the mornings, opening the shutters and enjoying the sunrise sitting on the bed with a coffee from the machine and pods provided.
A small room provides plenty of hanging & coat hangers and is the perfect size to store an opened suitcase.
There is a 12 hour convenience store in the same block for water, alcohol and great food supplies.
The local neighborhood is charming with international furniture, design and lighting shops lining the streets and the fashion district within an easy walk.
Booking was easy, with Francesca quick to respond and helpful with any requests.
I’d recommend this apartment for a female travelling alone.
