The apartment is very comfortable and very close to the Metro station and has an additional bonus of free parking available in the neighborhood. The trams are also right around the corner. They are one of the city's attractions - especially the old wood-and-brass ones with large windows, - and can be used to go to the city center or just for sight-seeing if you have a day pass.
The apartment has all the necessary amenities to make one's stay comfortable. We traveled as a family, and it was nice to be able to sit down to the evening tea after the day of walking about the city.
The neighborhood is safe, urban, but not spectacular. Nives was very patient with us (we arrived later than planned, having lost our way driving around Milan), but we haven't met her personally. Thank you for hosting us!
