There are a range of BnB experiences. Some places are more like a hostel. Staying with Rita and her husband Franco represents a high-contact visit. You are a guest in their home with lots of opportunities for interaction, conversation, and advice. They are warm, flexible, interesting, and very helpful. We now think of them as friends, not just hosts.

The apartment is easy to reach from the Milan central train station. For those wanting to shop for clothing, if you go from Rita's place about six blocks in the opposite direction from the train station to the Corso Buenos Aires, you will find lots of shopping.

Highly recommended.
