My stay at Federica's place was very nice. Her mother Maria is very welcoming and helpful. Despite the fact we didnt have a common language (unfortunately, I dont speak Italian), we managed our way through with a dictionary and body language:) Thor, the French bulldog, was lovely and friendly too.
The place is very conveniently located and I could either walk to Duomo and the city center or take the metro (much quicker). I flew back from Milan Linate airport and used public transport to get there too - very easy, convenient and cheap!
Having your own bathroom is a huge bonus and is very convenient.
My only advice would be to have earplugs with you as the bar downstairs gets quite crowded at night and if you would like to keep the windows open it can be noisy.
I would definitely recommend staying at this place.
