Paola is a really friendly, kind person. Staying at her place was more like subletting a friend's apartment than renting an anonymous Airbnb. The apartment is very spacious and clean. Paola was so nice and helpful, and recommended some great places to eat and visit nearby. The area is my favorite neighborhood of Milan: lot's to do, amazing restaurants, near a huge park and an easy walk to Brera and Duomo. I was there in November, and had zero problems with noise. It is on a private pedestrian street, at most you hear some people talking outside, but no music or anything that would be annoying. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a large shower. It is a really great apartment and host!
