Overall the apartment fell a bit below our expectations. For pros, it was very easy communicating with the host and they were very accommodating of our arrival and departure times. Also, the apartment size is great for two people and the balcony was a nice addition. The host also left many espresso pods and milk and water in the fridge. The area was quieter than we expected but well situated in heart of Brera and walkable to many sites and the metro. For cons, though others warned of it in reviews the smell of the bathroom was quite noticeable our entire stay. It was worse at certain times to the point where we needed to close the door. Also, the shower is extremely small for those taller/larger - it was difficult for my husband in particular to shower. While there is an elevator in the building, there is a small spiral staircase with no railing up to the flat - we had two large suitcases and it was very difficult to get up the stairs. Finally, the flat is well secured but it did take 4 different doors/keys to enter and exit each time.
