Milano was a very welcoming host - she had given me instructions on how to get to her place in Italian as I requested (I am learning the language) but also provided them in English too to make sure I did not get lost. I didn't :)

The area is a 15-20 minute walk to Corsa Buenos Aires - main shopping street and another 10 minutes from Central Station.

The apartment was as described and my room was spacious. All amenities catered for including free wifi, use of kitchen.

The heating had stopped working just before I arrived but Milano had negotiated someone to come and fix it although it was late Friday evening - and the apartment remained warm for the remainder of my stay - the only downside was the rain (relentless) but that was not Milano's fault!! I think if she could have done something about it she would have done.

There are five flights of stairs but amazing how quickly you get used to that - did not have a heavy case - I think that would have been quite a challenge,

Supermarket downstairs, bus stops close by to take you to town - good area.
