We really liked the location of this apartment, and the host was very communicative and helpful. It's possible on a warm summer night or weekend night it could get pretty loud, because we did hear people walking/talking on the street late at night, but I imagine that will be common throughout Milan. We bought some stuff at the outdoor market that happens directly below the apartment on Fridays, so that was cool. We walked around a lot, but also the metro is just minutes away, which is super convenient. We felt safe and again, we really liked walking around the neighborhood. I highly recommend Un Posto a Milano on Via Privata Cuccagna for dinner--we had an excellent meal there and it is less than a 15 minute walk from the apt.
