My experience with Alessandra's family was wonderful. The apartment was just as described and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay of four days. Located on the north side of Sempione Park it is an easy 20 minute walk to the closest subway station. The apartment is stocked with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay including kitchenware, spices, warm fresh sheets, street facing window. The internet connection was fast enough for me to do work in the evenings. Would I stay here again? Yes
