First, the location is fine, a one-minute walk to the tram stop right on the far side of the same building, with a direct line right to the very center of Milan, about threee minutes from the Duomo. Additionally, a cross-line of the higher-speed new tram runs in one direction to the nearest metro stop, with free transfer to and from the metro, no extra charge for the metro; and in the other direction to one of the suburban train lines that runs to, among other places, Pavia. The neighborhood is just beyond the high-rent zone a bit closer in, and therefore a better bargain, but at no loss in security or services, with two mid-sized supermarkets nearby, one just a half-block away and the other somewhat cheaper one just over a block away. The night-life district of the Navigli is about three trams stops in the inbound direction.

Second, the apartment is secure and provides each of the offerings promised in the advertisement. Everything that I needed for the bathroom and in the kitchen was there.

Third, the host, Andrea Amato, is exceptionally attentive and responsive. He is quick to provide information and assistance if needed, and is very energetic in being a good host and an interesting person for a visitor to talk with and learn from.
