"Home away from Home"
I am a world traveller for the nature of my business. I have lived in 20 countries and visited 80. I was on a tight and intense business travels across Europe and my schedule changed at the last minute. My eyes had fallen on Annie ads and my inner feeling told me to book. It could not be more right! Upon my arrival, Annie was on the street waiting for me. I thought what a nice touch and "What a welcome" ....then the question was would this genuine hospitality last throughout my stay? If it is true that Airbnb has become a competitor to the hotel industry well this is one case that confirms it does! I am a highly demanding customer and I always have high expectations. The building is located in Brera in the city centre of Milan and yet is such a peaceful retreat! Steps away from Teatro La Scala, Piazza Duomo, Via Montenapoleone. This is what I call Luxury. Feel the serenity of the countryside while you actually are in the heart of the city and have all the facilities, shops, bakery, supermarkets, Metro station just steps away. Room is large, spacious, fresh bed linen, towels and an impeccable variety of bathroom amenities. The breakfast was surprising. Annie prepared every morning a different freshly made breakfast for me. Fresh fruit platter and different selection every day and picked from the local fruits shop nearby daily, pancake, coffee, milk, fresh bread with organic jam and butter, orange or grapefruit juiceWe shared lunch and dinners and even enjoyed soccer match with friends with Pizza and beers! The apartment is truly comfortable, spacious and I simply loved the kitchen (I love cooking) and the library/TV/Living room and I was welcomed to enjoy all areas when needed.
What to me makes any experience truly memorable are people. Miki and Annie truly were able to built emotions and made feel at home at all times. They truly and genuinely cared. I didn't forget Kira...She is a magnificent classy, sweet and stylish lady setter. I am lucky to love dogs and she was just like a cherry on the cake. A cake that even if you do not like sweets, you would not hesitate to dip your face in it!
Thank you for a magical stay Annie, Miki and Kira!!! Will see you very soon!
