This is probably the best place to stay if it is your first time in Milan.
My friend and I stayed for just one night but the host made us feel like we were welcome and going to be there forever.
She gave us excellent directions on how to get to her place, and once there not only showed us everything in the apartment, but also told us of restaurants near by as well as directed us on how to get to the airport the following day.
She made our one night in Milan very easy and comfortable and I would suggest it to anyone looking for a nice little place to stay!
