Umberta is a lovely and thoughtful host in every way. Guest have privacy, yet also feel at home in her home. Her children and little dog are sweet, and the setting is highly attractive and well located. Umberta's place is in a high-ceilinged apartment with plenty of shelving, a comfortable bed, a fabulous bathroom, and tall windows looking over honeysuckle hedges. She has put out an intriguing range of books and filled the rooms with engaging art. You'll love the deep tub and the high-tech shower. But mostly you'll love the warm, friendly base for exploring Milano. The Metro (subway) is just down the block; buses and trolleys just a few blocks away, and historic piazzas in easy walking distance -- as are bars, gelato parlors, and restaurants aplenty. Enjoy!
