We came from the United States to visit friends in Milano. Fabrizio's apartment was a perfect set up for me and my teen daughter. We felt very safe. There is a grocery store and ATM one block away and the main street has several choices for gelato and meals. There is a large park about 1/2 a mile away and the Metro purple line is 3 minutes from the complex. We took the Metro to the Duomo and it took us around 30 minutes. Fabrizio speaks excellent English and lives nearby. The apartment was well supplied with essentials and quite comfortable.
