Paola was a wonderful host! She made us feel welcome long before we arrived in beautiful Milan, with advice and information. Upon arrival, she had stocked the kitchen, and gave us some more great info on the area and some of her favorite spots. The apartment and the building are stunning and cozy at the same time--very open and airy. The new air conditioning was much appreciated after long hot days exploring the city and the apartment is perfectly located for both the train, which is a quick shot to the center of town, and for good eating and drinking options. We felt like locals in the neighborhood. Perfect for access to the Expo too--very easy train ride! We would love to stay here again on our next Italy trip. Thank you, Paola for a lovely stay!
