I simply needed a place to stay close to the central station in order to get to Malpensa in the early morning. Little did I expect to find such wonderful, warm hosts as Alessandra and Nicola. I wish I'd had more time in Milan simply to see them longer! They clearly love having visitors and bend over backwards to make you feel at home. Nicola came to meet me at the train station when I arrived, and breakfast was waiting for me when we returned to their apartment.
