Had I not stayed with Alessandra and her family, I do not think I would have enjoyed my time in Milan half as much as I did. I really enjoyed feeling like part of their family for the 2 days I stayed in their lovely apartment. The room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable, Nico was only too happy to help me practice my Italian, this was a big help for me. This was more that just accommodation, this truly was a great experience for me and this is what I think airbnb is all about. The location was very close to central station and also very close to the buses for the airport, very handy indeed. Alessandra you are very lucky I did not pack your 2 dogs into minny bags when I left! If you are missing your pets while you are on holiday, come and stay here, the dogs are gorgeous. Grazie Alessandra e Nico !
