Serena was a friendly host. Apartment is small and cozy, with a comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. The location is good as far as access to public transportation and a large supermarket across the street. The proximity to the street makes the apartment a little noisy. The neighborhood has lots of Arab immigrants which made it feel a little less safe than other parts of Milan, yet everyone we met seemed quite friendly. Serena was very helpful with instructions on how to get to her place, she even found for us a reasonably priced parking garage very close to her!
