Barbara's place is in a great location near Porta Venezia- within walking distance to some great restaurants and bars, and a few minutes walk to the M1 metro line, but very quiet once inside the apartment. The washing machine and iron were very useful since we stayed for several days.
Barbara was an amazing host- she was very attentive and was easy to communicate with. She gave us a list of local recommendations for attractions/sites to visit, shopping areas, and restaurants to visit that helped us plan some of our time in Milano.
I would highly recommend staying at Barbara's place!
