We stayed in Chiara's place in July 2014 and our experience was really pleasant. Our flight was delayed and she was really kind for waiting us till midnight.
Her apartment is really well located, 5 minutes walk from the canals and metro station, and in a nice neighborhood. We recommend to take tram line 19(it stops in front of the apartment) to go around the city, and connect with tram 1 at Arco della Pace. You will enjoy the view riding one of those early 20th century trams.
The flat was very nice and full equipped for cooking. It's placed in a typical Milan building with an inner garden and the bedroom facing the street. It was super clean and we really liked it!
Chiara was a superb host and she provided us with food for all our breakfasts and more.

If we return to Milan, we will certainly go to Chiara's place again.
