Great little place a short walk from the Navigli canals where there are plenty of bars and places to eat. It's also a reasonable walking distance from the centre of Milan, but the nearby tram and bus stops give you the option to take public transport if you'd prefer. There a couple of shops very close by for groceries. If you are a light sleeper then we'd recommend some earplugs as there can be a little bit of noise in the night, but that seems to be case for the whole of Milan, so that definitely shouldn't be something to put you off stay at Alberta's place!
