This really felt like staying with old friends or family. Both Alessandra and Nick are genuinely warm and caring individuals who are always concerned about the guests well being and comfort. They offered me a lovely Sacher Torte (Easter party), cake and tea before I left to catch the 525 pm train to the airport. Earlier, Nick showed me to the subway station and carefully showed me the walking paths to wherever I wanted to go in Milan. The dogs are fun, the room has a very warm, lived in look and everything is arranged to ensure your comfort. Highly recommend them if you like genuine and friendly hosts who can also teach you much about life in Italy.
