There is much to praise about my stay with Ale, Nic & Ari. I don't think I have ever been so taken care of by a family that is not my own. After a long 30 hour flight from Australia I arrived in Milan, was collected by nicola from the station & welcomed by Ale. I had a beautiful restful sleep on the very comfortable bed, in the quiet room (despite it being so close to the centre of the city). The location is perfect for visiting Milan places of interest & also places out of Milan, I went to Verona for the day & it was very easy. The family were very patient with my wish to practice speaking Italian which I'm grateful for. Not only are they great to speak with about travel & life in Italy but they also respect one's own space, the perfect combination. I was sad to go ... Grazie a mille e spero vedere voi ancora!
