it was a pleasure staying with alessandra, her teen-age son andrea, and their cat pippo [sp?]. all three hosts were welcoming and happy to share their place.
alessandra was also generous in borrowing for me a violin during my stay, and in introducing me to her "sisters" and to a visiting guest.
the wifi on the premises was satisfactory for light email usage, but disappointingly inconsistent for skyping and voice-communication via gmail. the clothes washer was a great convenience.
i would recommend this particular airbnb to anybody who likes and engaging host, and convenience to the city central as well as to the institutions near bovisa station.
