Elisabatta's place is a great location to enjoy all of the site of Milan. The Navigli District (food and bar district along the canals) is only minutes walk away.
The description of the apartment is accurate - what needs to added is that you need to bring your own towels for drying crockery / cutlery etc from the well equipped kitchen. Yes there is some inner city noise, as per the description - to note though early on a Monday morning 5 garbage trucks pick up different types of rubbish along the street.
