I had a very nice stay at Helena’s. Helena was was friendly and showed me everything I needed to know about getting in and out of the building and using the old lift. The flat felt very cozy and clean. I had a private bathroom and the shower was quite luxurious with a rain shower head. The location is nice as it is right next to Parco Sempione, the Arco Della Pace and just a 12 minute walk from Monumental Cemetery. Helena gave me a ton of suggestions on places to eat and to see that were all nearby. She teaches during the daytime and sometimes she would have guests over, whom were all friendly. Her dog, Casey, is my favorite! She was so sweet and even sat on my lap one morning while I got ready for the day. Unfortunately I had to check-out a little earlier than I had hoped since the next guest was arriving early, so I had to wake up very early and wait for my train a few hours later. Other than that my stay was lovely and cozy.
