Staying at Verde's apartment is like staying with family. The hostess is very friendly, welcoming and always up for a chat. At the end of my stay she offered to drop me off at the metro station with my luggage, which I really appreciated. The room is within a separate/ closed off area within the apartment, but you do have to walk through the entrance/ living area of the apartment. There is a second room in the private area, which is sometimes used by the hostess/ others. The room itself is rather small and the bed is tiny, but the mattress is comfortable. There is enough closet space to put away your stuff. The bathroom is small, but got everything you need. Everything was very clean. The neighbourhood is very quiet and felt very safe. The area is very convenient and close to the metro station and bus stops. You can even walk to Zona Tortona in about 20 minutes.
