This was my 2.nd stay with Viviana. She is a very nice host, and the place is very strategically located next to the Centrale and the Metro system. It makes for easy arrival by train or airportbusses from MXP/LIN/BRG. Very quiet considering the location. As in any major city, the area around trainstations have people from all walks of life, so take that into consideration.
If you don't want to cook for yourselves, there are plenty of places to eat within 2-3 mins. Some grocery stores are also within a few minutes.
