We didn't meet Pasquale, but the cleaner welcomed us in and showed us around the apartment. It was small and cozy, and my parents and I enjoyed our stay! It's also located conveniently close to Milano Centrale (we accessed the house by a short tram ride). There was also a Indian restaurant downstairs really nearby that served REALLY good biriyani rice--we bought it twice during our one night stay at Pasquale's!
