The best part is the host - she is so attentive and easy to communicate with. She provided clear instructions for check-in, made sure I was comfortable, and also gave some great suggestions for exploring Milan. She was accommodating with my check-in time. She put thoughtful touches, such as the snacks and tea/coffee, as well as the wines for purchase.
The place gave me mixed feelings. It provided everything I needed, but was just more humble than described.
It's 30 minutes by metro from the Central Station, 7 minutes walking from the Metro stop (could be more if you need to drag heavy luggage on the broken sidewalks), and the immediate neighborhood can look terrifying (trash, graffiti, human poop on the street). I was reassured multiple times (not just by Giulia) that it's a safe residential area, and after becoming more comfortable with Mlian, I believe them!
The place has a vintage look reminiscent of grandma's. The bathroom is not very functional, since it was more focused on appearance.
Part of the disappointment I think was the exorbitant Design Week prices.
