Pencil Case feels a bit more like a hotel room, rather than a flat, but it’s perfectly comfortable and there’s a cute little terrace that would be perfect for breakfasts. Its position is also pretty good, as it’s right next to the University and the Torre Velasca, while there’s a metro station nearby and the Duomo is within walking distance.
