Karina was out of town during our stay there, so her mom hosted us. When we arrived at the address, her mom came out to receive us and even help us with our heavy luggages. She was extremely friendly and very accommodating. The apartment was clean and smell very nice, it was also very artsy looking and in fact, better than we had imagined. We had a very pleasant stay and slept well. There are also a few nice cafes and shops around. A Carrefour supermarket right across the street and just minutes away from the train station. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast at the cafe not far from the apartment called Ca' Puccino which serves excellent coffee and pastries. Upon checking out, Karina's mom even went to the extend of helping us pack up as we rushed for the airport. We felt extremely grateful and had a memorable stay. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Milano.
