Alessandra might be the friendliest and most helpful host we've ever stayed with. Her place was right near the end of a busy honeymoon trip and she treated us like her own children. She had water, candies and all kinds of little treats ready for us. She even made us an Italian breakfast in the morning before 7 am (we had an early tour in Central Milano). She let us keep our bags at her place over our time and gave us space to do what we liked, all the while engaging in enjoyable conversation and helping us feel like we belonged in Italy. In the leadup to the trip she communicated with me using Whatsapp providing detailed directions for the confusing Milano navigation. She made it seem easy for these American country kids Without question I would stay with her again under any circumstance. Highly recommend!
