the room was very sizable, with 2 vanities and a living area. the bath and shower were generous and separate. the staff were extremely helpful and professional. the entrance thru us for a loop. it is surrounded by fantastic restaurants and just walking around on the "no traffic" streets was amazing. air conditioning did not work all that great.

Everyone was courteous, helpful and friendly. The location was also perfect to a wide range of walking. The only suggestion I have would be to create a raise for the entry of the shower so the water doesn't leak under the shower door. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff.

The patio was wonderful, they take great care of the plants on the balcony and it is a beautiful place to enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day of sight seeing. Staff was wonderful, the entrance was a little strange, but it was kind of fun

This was a lovely place to stay for our four night visit to Milan. It was within walking distance to the major parts of the city. The room was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating, and the breakfasts were very satisfying, including the freshly baked cakes that added a homey touch.

Staff was super nice, location decent. Rooms a little dated and small. We stayed on the top floor, underneath someone who sounded like they were moving furniture on a wood floor all day and into the night.
