I really enjoyed my stay with Barbara, she is an amazing host and was so kind and helpful! She has a beautiful apartment and even includes an information sheet with local shops/restaurants/useful numbers etc upon arrival which I found very useful! The city centre is an enjoyable 35/40 minute walk from the apartment, with lots of independent shops/cafes along the way or you can take the bus/tram for a quicker journey. Milan was beautiful and I would definitely recommend visiting and starting with Barbara whilst you’re there!
