Alessandra is a kind, generous and a wonderful host. She really went out of her way to accommodate all of our requests. She sat down with us and gave us insider tips for maximizing our time on our short visit to Milan (we will need to come back!). She set us up with a driver to the airport (her friend whose delightful personality entertained us in the wee hours of the morning). She even got up at 5:30 this morning to make sure we were all set as we left the apartment (her apartment is on the same floor). She baked a lovely torte and butter cookies (both of which we devoured). It was a wonderful way to end our family trip to Italy.
