Valentina was awesome. I understand why all of her guests love her. She has a bubbly, creative, and kindhearted personality that is obvious at the start!

She waited for us after our commute from MXP airport where we took the train and metro. Her apartment was super close to the Metro. We walked to the Duomo and it was a hike but good exercise. After that, we took the handy metro! I didn't love the area at night but once we got inside Valentina's apartment we felt completely safe. We enjoyed the sushi across the street for dinner!

Valentina's place was the coziest and most HOMEY stay of our entire trip. I cannot say enough. We must be kindred spirits because I loved all of her artistic touches and literally felt right at home. The bright colors and comfortable furniture were perfect-- lots of cute touches and thoughtful extras like cookies, tea, beer, maps, lamps, books, movies shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, and more. The apartment had a great flow and was plenty of space. There's also a cute patio overlooking a little courtyard. The bathroom was awesome- super spacious, clean, with lots of light!

I asked Valentina how to organize an early cab ride and she offered to take us to Linate airport since it was on her way to work and the right time. Her thoughtfulness really touched us! It was such a peaceful way to start our journey home and wrap up an amazing trip. Thank you again Valentina. You are a special person!
