I highly recommend staying with Alice!! Her parents are very nice and friendly, very helpful, helping me out with power adapters, showing me where to get the things I need, making sure I had my privacy and I was staying warm. They gave me detailed intruction about their home during check-in.
Since I am leaving Milan in mid-afternoon, I had some time in the day to sightsee and they let me leave my belonging and pick it up later! I ended up running late and couldn't make it upstairs to their home to get my belonging and Alice helped me contact her parents RIGHT AWAY and her Dad took it downstairs for me (he was already waiting for me on the street when I got out of the subway station!!) so I could run back to the subway station and wouldn't miss my train! (phew) They were so nice and helpful! I am very thankful!
Location is EXCELLENT! It's very close to the center of the popular tourist places such as Duomo di Milano, Sforzesco Castle, Last Supper, etc. Value staying with Alice is great without question!
I will stay with Alice again when I am back to visit! Thank you so much to Alice and her family again!
