My brother and I stayed with Silvana for 5 days and we absolutely LOVED it. Silvana and her family are very welcoming, nice and helpful people. They went out of their way just to help us and make us feel at home. We arrived in the evening and Silvana made a delicious pizza for us for dinner. Breakfast was perfect too, anything we could think of - it was there, ready for us. They were happy to share their lunches and dinners with us, some really tasty Italian food, and also Silvana's great home-made ice cream.

Since we had an expensive bicycle with us, they provided us with a safe place to leave it and everything else we needed. Also, they gave us their bicycles and Silvana took us on a cycling tour of Milan, where she showed us the city's main attractions and some places the tourists usually don't know about. She knows a lot of cool information about the city and it was really interesting to hear them from her.

Silvana's flat is located in a really peaceful and safe residential block about 30 minutes by bike from the city center. Also, there are buses and metro that also take you to the center in about 30 minutes (1,5 euro per ride). The area around the flat is very nice, with lots of beautiful parks and lakes. The flat and the room were beautiful, just as in pictures. Very clean and with everything you might need. And if you still need something else, don't worry, Silvana will provide it for you. The bathroom was also nice and clean, with a big bath tub. We had absolutely no complaints, it was a great value for money.

On our last day there, Silvana even gave us a ride with her car to the train station, so we wouldn't have to carry all out luggage on metro. That was very nice of her and we are very thankful.

We really felt like at home with Silvana and her wonderful family. Both my brother and I will definitely stay with them again if we're in Milan, and we recommend them to everybody. If you stay with them, you won't regret it, and you will make new friends, just like we did.
