We had a wonderful time staying with Mara at her bed and breakfast in Milan. We came with our 3 year old son. Mara absolutely doted on our son and he had lots of fun talking to her and playing with her pets (a yellow lab named Carlotta and some turtles.)
The room was very clean and had lots of amenities (small refrigerator, fans and extra blankets, balcony, TV with Netflix) and the breakfast was very typical Italian (different breads and marmalade/Nutella/etc, really nice coffee with hot milk).
Overall a very pleasant stay with friendly hosts :)
