Good value for the price and budget conscious. Once we met with the host, she was very helpful and accommodating. Finding the place by subway and tram was tricky the first time, though directions given by Erika got us there. Erika's dad was exceedingly helpful the first night and the next evening when he helped get the hot water sorted out for us, despite the language barrier. The bed was very comfortable, but noisy trucks through much of the night right outside the window was a challenge while dealing with jet lag. The area by the canal not far away is gorgeous and has lots of good places to eat and drink; nice ambience. Grocery store not far away for breakfast food, and a good little cappuccino place just steps away. Next time we would choose something closer in to central Milan. Also, no wifi.
