Cristiana was an amazing host. She was responsive to our emails right from the time of booking our reservation and gave us useful and on-point information about where to eat and shop in Milan; tips which we found very useful. When we arrived, she had refreshments waiting; much appreciated after a busy traveling day. Her apartment is stylish, sophisticated, roomy, comfortable, and clean. It was a lovely, quiet and safe sanctuary for our family of five after busy days of traveling. We had only three full days in Milan and managed to spend one day in Milan, one day in Monterosso, and one day in Venice. If you are looking for a great “middle ground” base from which to travel to other parts of Italy for the day, this is it. Cristiana’s apartment is a 10 minute walk to the major attractions of Milan, the metro, and taxis. We were able to easily get to the train station each day in under 30 minutes via the metro.
