First impression when I arrived to the area was not great, but via bus and tram routes nearby you can connect easily enough to the metro. Francesca is very friendly, apartment is private and appreciated the small touches like cereal and yoghurt :) Great beer hall just nearby and enough restaurants options also. Soundproofing is not great, but wasn't a bother for me, depends on how sensitive you are to noise. For the price vs privacy of having your own space, definitely value for money for Milan.
