Barbara is an amazing host. We got along very well. She gave us tips for what to see in the city and she was very open and friendly.
The apartment was very clean and cozy. Our room and bathroom were separate from the rest of the apartment, so we had all the privacy we needed. At night it was a little cold, but the blanket kept us warm all night. We especially loved the dog, cats and birds.
All in all, great value for money. I would very much recommend staying with Barbara if you're looking for the perfect accommodation on a budget in Milan!
