My trip started off rather hectic due to many flight delays, but Tine was extremely flexible and responded quickly to my text updates! Her hospitality from the moment I stepped in the door, to the moment I left, made me feel more like visiting a friend, not just someone renting a room from a stranger. She helped acclimate me to the neighborhood, the city, and local culture. Tine even reached out to friends for recommendations for me, and even lent me a purse of hers when I decided to go La Scala at the last minute. Her hospitality was very welcoming and yet not at all overbearing.

The location of Tine's apartment was exactly as listed, and even more convenient than I thought. About 2 blocks away from the Metro stop and a 10 min walk to the Central Milan Train station! It's located on a very quiet street with good security. The apartment is very clean throughout, and the room has direct access to a lovely patio Tine has kept with a vast array of plants! There is no central AC but the fan was more than enough to keep me cool at night, and the open patio door kept the apartment cool throughout the day!
Tine is someone who embodies everything of what an Air BnB host should be- warm, respectful, willing to share her knowledge and space, and does this to meet people, not just to help pay her rent. Tine made me feel extremely welcome in her home during my stay, and when I go back to MIlan next, I will definitely be staying with her! I could not have asked for a better Air BnB host!
