Simona's has a very beautiful home. It is very close to the tram and bus stops that connect you to the important sightseeing locations. The house also has a very good collection of books to help you with your stay, where to eat and what to see. There is also a beautiful scientific / art institute by the artist Paola Ferrari downstairs that is worth a visit. Communication with Simona was great and though she doesn't speak much English her directions and instructions are perfect, so you sent her lost even without wifi /internet when you arrive. There is also a supermarket nearby as well as a number of cafes and restaurants. A wonderful experience in Milan!
