Vasco's place is great. The flat is right in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Naviglio, you couldn't have a better location. You would think that the negative aspect of that would be disturbance at night, but this isn't the case at all - we were not bothered by any noise at all during our stay. Vasco was an excellent host and was very helpful in offering tips on what to do in Milan, and with logistics such as train/ferry travel (we visited San Siro and Como/Bellagio during our stay). I would say it's the perfect for base for a stay in Milan.
