Nicolo's place is brilliant and so close to the tram to get you in to the centre of Milan in around 10 minutes. His recommendations were also great and a trip to a Trattoria called Il Brutto Anatroccolo was a definite highlight! There are also plenty of good places to eat and get coffee in the area. If you want to walk to the centre or to the Navigli canal the walking distance is good too! Highly recommended.
