    We chose this hotel because my partner is an interior designer and we loved The Street design from the photos - and it looked exactly the same when we entered our room! It is a very lovely and charming boutique hotel, we would like to particularly mention the staff (all of them made us feel like at home...), location and room size (big, clean, quiet...). The concierge contacted us personally before the arrival to make sure that we already know everything about arriving to the hotel and spending our time in Milano. Wonderful stay
