The location is not too close to central Milan but also not too far. It is less than 20 min walk near the Shuttle bus stop for the Malpensa airport which is very convenient. It is also near several bus and tram stops. The apartment is on the 3rd floor so you go up like 7 sets of stairs. Yes we were out of breath hahaha! The place is secure with several locked doors so we felt safe. Currently the place is a 1 bedroom flat equipped with 1 single folding cot bed and a bunk bed that can sleep 4. I am not sure if 2 adults would be comfortable on the top bunk because the wood planks creek if you move around up there. We had our children sleep on the top. I would say it is good for families with older children. We have one child under 2 and while we were comfortable, we think it was a police station nearby because we constantly would hear sirens. This disturbed the sleep of our little one at night. I would say the most I heard in one night was about 2-3 times. In the day we were out site seeing so it was not a big deal. Valentina was very helpful in helping getting directions to places and helping with taking the right transportation. Her apartment is a bit drafty under the front door and patio in the winter but she had thick blankets available. She had a very nice touch in having toast, marmalade, tea, and milk available. She also had coffee for purchase for 50 euro cents. So if you are a family of 5 or less with kids who can sleep through a few sirens in the night you will be nice and comfy here.
