We unfortunately weren't able to meet Valentina in person as she had a family emergency, but regardless she had everything prepared for us and left instructions. She was also readily available by text message. Her friend Livia picked us up in front of the apartment and showed us the place. Valentina has an exceptionally beautiful home and we felt very comfortable there. I mentioned wanting to visit the Milan Expo before and she had the tickets prepared waiting for us! The apartment was always close to Milano Centrale station and other metro stations, so it was definitely easy to get around. We truly had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend staying at her place.
