I stayed in the apartment during a 4-month work in Politecnico di Milano. This pleasant and memorable experience started the moment I contacted Gianfranca through Airbnb even before my arrival in Milan. There were very agreeable conversations when I ordered the room. I was well welcomed by Gianfranca and her very delicious dinner the day I have arrived in Milan, and many meals after that.
The apartment is well suited in Milan, you can reach almost every daily use by walking: supermarket, grocery stores, barber shops, dry cleaner’s, and restaurants and so on. However, I haven’t been in the restaurants nearby because Gianfranca is an excellent cook :) From the apartment there are many ways to reach the city center: it takes less than 20 minutes by train from Villapizzone train station or you can take the very antique tramways and enjoy the street view all along the trip. The apartment’s location is especially convenient for me because it’s just 5 minutes by foot to my office in Bovisa campus, I couldn’t imagine better!
Staying in Gianfranca’s is more than welcomed: super clean, extremely well organized and equipped, most important a very kind hostess. The apartment is elegant and Gianfranca lives in a chic way. She is an interesting person knows all kinds of things: history, politics, fashion, culture … we had a lot of interesting conversations during many agreeable meals. I was fortunate that we had a visit to the city together before my leaving. With such awesome hostess, the staying in a new city becomes easier and fruitful. Last but not least, there is a lovely cat, Mila, a cute little companion who makes the staying even better. During this long stay, they have become family to me. Thank you Gianfranca, I will miss everything!
