Isola is one of the nicest areas in Milano. Literally 1minute away is great sushi (on the corner), burgers (Burger Italy), coffee and pizza.
I found the area to be my favourite of inner city Milano having stayed in Central, Duomo and Lombardy.
Elisabettas place is highly recommended for the lone traveler with exceptional distance to all things to make your Milano trip stunning. The walk to Garibaldi makes the train to any other metro station a piece of cake.
I liked the ease of Elisabettas place also- living was made easy. Ciao
