I stayed for 45 days at Marta's place. She was a great host. She came to pick me up from the metro station and gave clear directions on how to reach there from the airport. It was late at night when i arrived, so she made me a sandwich which was really kind of her. She also took me around the neighbourhood to help me understand the place and where to buy routine stuff. She also gave tips on what places to see in Milan.
About the place, its a spacious studio size place in a compound where used to be a factory. a little towards periphery of urban area. So dont expect the neighbourhood to be city like or anything posh. there are fields and open areas nearby. the nearest metro station is piazza abbiategrasso which is roughly 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes by cycle. there is also a tram and bus station there. so you have good connectivity to almost whole of milan from there. the closest bus stop is 7 minutes walk which is on line 79. you can get bus here to reach p. abbiattegrasso or directly near navigli area. a big departmental store is a little before p. abbiattegrasso. Marta provided me with a bicylce which made this daily commute convenient for me. Though it was old, it did the job.
The place is at ground floor with good space for 1 or 2 persons. there is a cot with mattress, a cupboard, 2 tables with chairs, also a small table and some racks, with a microwave, minifridge, table cutlery etc. the washroom is spacious and clean and has a shower and washing machine. there is also a huge tub, but i could not use it.
there is a mezzanine floor which is half the size and has 2 mattresses with a cupboard and lamp.
Marta lives on the first floor and there is an internal connection with stairs to her place. there is a woodwn door in between which can be closed feom both sides . You have full pricy downstairs, Marta will come only for taking a shower donstairs, usually once in 2-3 days. which she usually does when you are away and informs you beforehand.
the pictures put up by Marta are fairly accurate, so you can judge for yourself. you can also use google maps where you can see all around the place.
In conclusion i would totally recommend the place if you are coming to Milan for work and going to stay for a longer duration as it is very economical as compared to other parts of Milan and has good connectivity if you dont mind a short walk/cycle trip to the metro station.
