Nicola's apartment exceeded our expectations. It is a very clean and well kept apartment with everything you would require to live here for an extended period of time, it is also excellent for a short trip to Milan. There is easily enough room for 3 people with a fold down single bed that can be put in the living room or bedroom. It is much bigger than the photo's suggest. There are also 2 balconies, one at each side of the apartment, so you can sit and enjoy a meal and the sunshine at different times of the day.

The location is also very good and you can get to the centre of the city in under 20 minutes from walking out of the apartment door. The local area has lots of local inexpensive bars and places to eat as well as an excellent supermarket round the corner if you want to cook in the apartment. Transport to other areas of the city is quick and easy on the Metro line which is not expensive at all. Transferring from the Airport is also very simple.

Unfortunately he was not around whilst we were there, however, Nicola was extremely helpful in providing directions and recommending places to go or things to do. He could be contacted via SMS at any time and responded very quickly. His parents, who met us at the local metro station and showed us the apartment and gave us some hints and tips, were very welcoming and friendly. The bottle of wine left for us was a nice touch and a great way to start our weekend.

I would definitely go back to Milan as it is such a great city. When I do I will look into staying here again without hesitation.
