I was very impressed by the kind welcoming of Marco and Linda. Marco immediately helped me with internet connection and a lot of practical information. He was following up with written info whenever I had any practical question. The quietness of the street facilitated a very good sleep - not obvious in a big city like Milan. The hosts were also careful not to disturb with noise. A very pleasant surprise for me was the discovery that I needed only 10 - 12 min every morning to reach MiCo, where I was attending a conference starting pretty early in the morning. The nice and very short walk to two metro stations (less than 10 min), helped reaching "downtown MIlano" very quickly. The neighbouring streets have nice cafes, with Italian specialties and small shops. All in all a very pleasant, green and friendly area.
