I stayed at Sabine's place for 6 days and felt I stayed with an old friend and not a paid host! From the very first day she was welcoming and made sure I was aware of the things in the flat and gave me tips about Milan's places to visit and also provided me the maps and tourist books, which turned out to be very handy.

Her place was surprisingly easy to find. It took me around 15/20 mins by walk in a straight road from the Milan Central station. Going to the Centre from hers was very easy as well. Tram no 1 stops in less than 1 min walk from her flat which goes to the centre (near Duomu/La Scala etc) in 20/25 mins. Also the underground isn't too far from her place either.

I highly recommend to stay her place if you are going to Milan.
