Umberta's home was just that, a home. It felt like I had been living there since I was a little bambino. She has a lot of friends and family that visit which is something I am used to from my childhood. If this isn't for you, no worries, your room is very secluded and separate from the living and visiting areas of the home. I had the best sleep of my trip at her place. My time in Milano was such an amazing time, that I am already planning my trip back and will definitely be staying here. The apartment is very close to a park and the metro which makes it easy to get around the city. Highly recommend staying here.
