If you aim to explore both Milan and the surrounding area (the Alpine lakes, and so on), the flat is in a very good location. It is sort of mid-way between the city's main train station (Milano Centrale) and the centre, and has plenty of restaurants and shops close by. The flat has all necessary amenities and was extremely decent for the price asked. The wifi internet connection was sufficiently fast and quite reliable (which is not always a given in Italy). Lastly, Cristina was an excellent host, unobtrusive but very kind and responsive.
