The apartment is in a great location - walkable to the Duomo (about 30 minutes) or just a few minute walk to the M1. It was clean and some maps of Milan were provided to borrow which was a big help. The apartment is in the courtyard of larger buildings around it - so you are protected from street noise. There is some noise from the restaurants who's kitchens are on the courtyard, but after 10 pm (ish) it was quite. Overall I think it is a good value!
