Travelling with my mom, Barbara's place was exactly what I was looking for- there's a nice bathroom and kitchen, a living room with a terrace and a bedroom with two separate single beds. That is a truly rare find!
The apartment has a cool, eclectic style and is very well equipped. Whenever I thought "I wish I had this, or I wonder if she has that", almost immediately I found what I was looking for. This is especially true of the kitchen!
The only down-side is that it's a bit far from the nearest metro stop. On the other hand, there's an elevator in the building, so you don't have to climb the stairs to the last floor (so it kind of evens out the walking effort).
Communication with Barbara was very easy and quick, and we'd highly recommend her place if you're going to Milan, especially if travelling with a friend, relative, colleague etc.
