I stayed with Gianfranca for 2 months while working at the Milan World Expo. Her apartment is one of the nicest AirBnbs I have ever stayed at: super clean, well-furnished, and beautifully designed throughout the whole apartment (in the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, and rooms). Gianfranca was super personable and friendly from the first day I arrived, and me feel at home right away.

The apartment is very well situated in Milan: by walking you can reach several grocery stores, the Villapizzone train station, dry cleaners, hair cutteries, some small cafes and pizzerias, and almost anything else you will probably need during your stay. There is also a very nice park just 4 minutes walking that's great for relaxing or morning runs.

During my stay, I had the pleasure in getting to know Gianfranca through our many meals and conversations about history, travel, politics, life, and many other things too. I couldn't have asked for a better host during my time living abroad in Italy. Gianfranca is truly an amazing host, but even more, an amazing friend. I will miss my time living in Villapizzone with Gianfranca, and give her my highest recommendation.
