I am Italian and I live in the States with an American husband and a daughter. We rented Giampaolo’s apartment because we wanted to stay in a place that felt like home to us. We were right. Giampaolo’s apartment is not only a beautiful example of the typical Milanese “casa di ringhiera” but is also full of little details that makes you feel that the owner really cares about his guests (just to mention one: because we stayed there the two weeks before Christmas Giampaolo home made a beautiful Christmas tree using hangers and lights, the opera of a genius!). From the check in process where Giampaolo showed up and helped us with the luggage to the regular checks via text messages we felt taken cared of and we felt home, in any possibile sense. I can thank Giampaolo enough for sharing with me and my family his special place and to remind to us and to everybody the original meaning of this community. Can’t wait to come back soon.
