As a first time solo traveller it can be daunting because you don't know what to expect or the kind of standards you should accept, but Alba has been nothing short of kindness and hospitality. Alba respects your privacy but when you feel lonely and want to chat over dinner, she tells great stories. her house is also very quirky and stylish, a true Milanese ! communication was great and you're not getting anything less than what you agree to. if I ever come back to Milan, I hope I can stay here again :)
