I first want to start off, the communication was great, thank you for that. First advice, if you are coming in from Malpensa Airport, I suggest renting a car for your time in Milan because the rate with a taxi to and from the airport alone cost at least $300. Just be mindful there is no private parking and you will have to find parking on the street. I will list the pros and cons to back my rating.
Pro: our flight was delayed coming in and we decided on the rental last min after seeing taxi prices, but the host was able to still meet us at 11pm to check us in. There is a good amount of food restaurants right around the neighborhood and if you need a SIM card, you can get one for $15 at the store next door. I suggest using public transportation when going to the city area (cathedral, shopping etc) and the street trains runs right outside so all you have to do is cross the street and it takes you to the main places. The apartment was smaller than I expected but still a good amount of space for 2 and clean. The kitchen has every utensils to cook.
Cons: when it came to showers, the water got cold fast especially at night. If you have a car, you have to find street parking. A lot of mosquitoes, bring big spray.
However I would definitely stay here again
