Paola Bonara's apartment was FANTASTIC!! We really found a great place. It was a large, airy, beautiful and immaculately clean apartment, with 4 bedrooms and enough beds for our family of six. No one felt crowded and there was plenty of room for everyone to have his or her own space. We had a large balcony, a large eat-in kitchen where four people could sit comfortably, 2 full bathrooms, a large living room/dining room, a washing machine and a dishwasher. We had all the kitchen utensils we could ever want and even the plates, glasses and silverware were beautiful. Paola left us food for a few meals: several kinds of pasta, sauces, condiments, olive oil, tea, coffee and other Italian "goodies" . She thought of everything we might need to make our stay in her apartment feel like home. In other apartments we have had to buy paper towels, toilet tissue, garbage bags, sponges and cleaning supplies, but Paola made sure everything was already in the apartment for us. The Metro was a 5-minute walk from the apartment and it took us directly to the Duomo in the heart of Milan. We had a car because we toured outside of Milan but there was always a place to park outside the apartment. We had to buy daily parking tickets for the hours between 08:00-13:00, but the tickets are easily available at the newspaper and magazine store in the Metro station. Also in the apartment were maps, suggestions for visits, phone numbers for taxis and pizza posted on a bulletin board and Italian-English dictionaries which really came in handy. We had very fast and stable wifi and we even enjoyed programs on cable TV. Paola accommodated herself to our schedule and was available when we needed her. Both Paola's daughter and husband were also very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this apartment and we recommend it without any reservations whatsoever. It is no wonder that Paola is a "Super Host."
