Tommy was fantastic in his lightning quick response. My other accommodation had fallen through in France and Italy was calling. Within minutes Tom has replied and as my phone was stolen 2 days prior I just called and he generously offered to pick me up from the station I was at. He was there quickly and took me straight to the ‘Chatlet’ where I felt immediately at home in amongst the wooden setting filled with wine bottles lining the walls, books, CDs and my very own balcony. I also loved the washing machine as there is only so hand washing only feels so clean, giggles.

He even wanted to invite me out to drinks with his mates if they went out but no way of contacting me by phone. He clearly explained how to get into the main city area of Milan and offered to accompany me there the next morning after my arrival.

The pussy cat likes to bite the wooden rings on my fingers, he he, but is lovely company for a sole traveller whilst staying here for a couple of nights.
