I stayed at Monica's place while visiting a few designer's studios nearby in industrial parts of Lambrate. But the apartment is also close to the metro, which means it's just a short trip into central Milan. The flat itself feels like a painting studio with tons of natural light. The terraces are planed in a way that makes them feel a bit like a secret garden on top of an otherwise nondescript building. Note that the bathroom is down a flight of stairs if that is an issue.
Monica herself was a great host! I highly recommend her place if you're looking to stay in this part of Milan.
