We enjoyed our stay in Milan. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We found it to be furtherer from downtown Milan. We waited for the tram usually about ten minutes, and once on the tram it took more like 20 minutes to the central plaza (and nearly an hour walk!). Although the apartment is near the canals, we found the beautiful canal area (with shops and restaurants rather than graffiti) to be 10 minutes away by tram. We did not find many restaurants that were walking distance from the apartment, but we understand that things slow down considerably in August. The host and her sister were cordial and very responsive. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
