Nicola's apartment is in a fantastic location - very near to centro storico and the museums, fancy shops, bars and restaurants of Brera. The apartment was easy to find and he met us promptly, it was in a safe enclosed courtyard. It was a very hot weekend when we stayed and so the lack of air con or even a fan was a problem. This coupled with the shakes and noise from the metro passing over at 5am meant sleep was disrupted. The bathroom was clean but the shower was not what we would expect for the price, it wouldn't attach to the wall. Luckily my companion lives in Italy so knew how to switch on the gas, Nicola had not mentioned that it would be off. The wifi was not working when we were there. Overall it was an ok experience, but mainly because we hardly spent time there! If location is your priority over value for money, it is a great apartment.
