I visit Milan very often and this place has to be one of my favorites. Federica's apartment is just a block from the Maciachini station, but she waited for me at the station so she can show me how to get there. The apartment had everything we needed (i.e. air-conditioning, elevator, fast WIFI). The neighborhood is fairly quiet, but close to a 24-hour supermarket along with several restaurants - including asian selections. Not many tourists - mostly locals living in the area. I would definitely stay again.
