Giuliana is very nice and very responsive. She made me feel most welcome and offered helpful advice to get oriented both at her place and in Milan. The bedroom is cozy and comfortable. This accommodation was perfect for my transit through Milan, note that the large room pictured is the common room (though I did not see Giuliana during my stay except for the first and last days), and the bathroom is shared. But Giuliana's is a comfortable clean place. It has direct access to the metro and is a 15-minute walk to the main train station. The internet connection was among the most reliable I found in Italy, which of course helped with my work.

The neighborhood, while pretty close in, has a quiet feel to it. There is a community market down the street and a thoroughly enjoyable pastry shop downstairs. Otherwise I did not find many restaurants within walking distance. But I learned the night before I left that Giuliana provides restaurant recommendations, so there may be eating options I did not find. Giuliana uses an electronic lock. It is cool, but be sure to follow the instructions Giuliana provides in advance. I ignored them, which was not ideal.

Giuliana's cat is cool. Considering the price and Giuliana's helpful manner, I think this is a good option for a single traveler, and it would also be good for two travelers who get along well.
