Even though, there was a conflict in the beginning because of miscommunication (I thought check in time was after 11am (as it says on his page) but he asked me to check in after 6/7pm only couple days before my arrival date. And because my arrival time was very early in the morning, I had to store my luggages at the metro station as he recommended and had to change the whole plan for the day. A bit inconvenient I thought. After I arrived to the city, I got a message from Michele in the middle of exploring the city that I need to be at his place in about an hour and a half.. otherwise I wont be able to check in until after 11pm. At the time, I thought it was unfair. When I got the message, I had to drop everything and literally run to the metro station to get my luggages and try to make it to his place in the given hour because if I don’t, I thought (since i didn't know what kind of host he was) he might just cancel this reservation and I wont have a place to stay while I am in Milan..and that would be disaster ..) Until then, I was thinking this trip is going to be really rough.. but when I entered his place.. I was glad I made it on time because his place was absolutely stunning. It's like an art gallery. I felt lucky he let me stay at his beautiful place! I talked to Michele, he turned out to be a very nice guy explaining to me that his partner is the one who’s usually at home but since he is away, he had to check me in when he had to be at work. Fair enough. I am sure since we speak different languages, there might have been a bit of miscommunication but hey everything was totally worth it!!! :) I wish I stayed longer. :)
