Andrea and his co-host Nicola, have the quirkiest apartment I have ever seen. It is such an interesting place to see, almost like a museum, I really enjoyed it. The house was very clean and very comfortable and I have never had hosts contact me to check in before but even during our short stay Andrea and Nicola contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed. They were so organised and well prepared for tourists, they had everything from maps to a guide to Milan to a book with helpful Italian phrases which I wish I bought before. Nicola even spent twenty minutes with us showing us where to go in Milan and gave us some helpful recommendations we wouldn't know of. There are many cute coffee shops and pasticerrias close by to grab breakfast from. We would pick up breakfast and have it in their rooftop garden overlooking Milan. It was a wonderful experience. If you are staying there on Fridays, I believe there is a street market in the front of the house and it is a must see. We had a lovely stay and Andrea and Nicola are excellent hosts.
