I had a fantastic stay at Antica Locanda dei Mercanti. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to all the major attractions like La Scala and the Duomo. The staff was incredibly helpful and made me feel at home. However, I did have a bit of an issue with the elevator being small and needing to climb a few stairs to reach it, which wasn't the most convenient. Overall, it was still a great experience and definitely worth the stay.
