It was such a pleasant experience for me to stay at her place. It's situated in Chinatown which was a very dynamic area and close to the centre, so I could walk everywhere and feel safe although I came back late a few times during I stayed in Milan. When I first met her, I felt so welcomed - She and her family are such friendly people and she'd prepared for me a nice welcome tray with water, tea, coffee and snacks. You know, sometimes such nice little things really make you feel warm inside. The room was not big but it was perfect for myself as I travelled on my own. Also, it was linked to a side door on a different level than the main door, so I didn't need to worry about waking up her family when I go out and come back. I highly recommend her place if you are an independent person who's considering of travelling to Milan.
