I stayed at Chiara's place to go to a conference at the Fiera Milano Expo center. It is perfect for this, only one train stop away and close to public transportation (I recommend getting an ATM pass to ride the trolly to the train station unless you prefer a 25 minute walk). The home was cosy and clean, simple , and everything worked well. The hosts met me at entry and explained everything to me, and they were always readily available for questions. it felt like a mellow and safe part of the city to be in. I recommend!
