I didn't meet Massimo personally as he was out of town but his helpful friend, Angelo and girlfriend Christina showed me around. Tram stop is right out of the doorstep, 3 tram stops gets you to Porta Romana metro/underground, in about 5 minutes. The same tram gets you directly to Milano Centrale main train station in about 20 minutes. Remember to get tickets before boarding from Birrila, a bar just a few steps away (not open on Sundays, but you can get the tickets from automated machines at Porta Romana or other small kiosks/stores at the direction of Piazza 5 Giornata, near Coin shopping centre.)

There is a Puma outlet store nearby, with good deals and etro outlet shop, though the selection and prices are pathetic. Next to the Puma store there is a Carrefour Express supermarket. Coin, a five-level shopping centre is one tram stop away or less than 10 minutes walk, where you can get food, clothing, perfumes etc. Thanks, Massimo!!
