Our stay with Gabriella was lovely. Her apartment is beautiful - it is one of those places that has been decorated tastefully and slowly. She was so open with sharing her space. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time looking at the art and bits in her home. We sought out her recommendations on what to do in Milan, and she offered advice kindly. She told us all the good places to eat and drink wine and even helped us plan our time. We were lucky to find sometime to chat with her one evening, and it was lovely to get to do so. We highly recommend staying with Gabriella - the house is lovely, she is warm and hospitable, and if you are lucky and up for it, it might be fun to exchange some stories with her.
