Cristiana was a very helpful host and gave us detailed directions on how to get to her place and she even waited when we were very late due to getting lost. she also had water, coffee, food etc that was accessible to us for breakfast and just to eat whenever which was very kind of her. the common living room smelled like smoke sometimes but it wasn't too bad. and it was pretty hot and sticky in the room but that's just due to the weather in milan in june. she was very accommodating and even had a fan in there for us :) it's pretty close to central milan but the metro/subway was about a 10 min walk which isn't bad at all but was kinda tiring with the hot weather and our luggage. i would recommend stay at her place if you are traveling in milan.
