Giovanna and Piers' home is certainly no ordinary Milan home. It sets in a shared 14th century converted barn with communal courtyard, although Giovanna and Pier's home has a beautiful private backyard which is off limits to neighbours. It is only 15-20 mins walk to Via Cortona and only 5 minutes walk to the underground. The supermarket is close by. Plenty of restaurants can be found in Navigli, a mere 15-20 minutes walk away. It is clean and nicely decorated. The host is always available if we needed them. They also left us a nice bottle of wine and some delicious food. Perhaps the only drawback about the place is the fact that the house advertises to have 2 bedrooms but it is actually an open loft with a master double bed and 2 single beds (which are on the short side as they belong to little Tommy who must have been 3 or 4 years old) so everyone can hear can everything that goes on in the house (except what goes on the bathroom, of course). The house also have a double sofa bed which are quite comfortable. Very nice kitchen and dining area. All in all a very pleasant stay. Definitely love to be back.
