Chiara’s place was just like the photos and it’s beautifully and artfully decorated. The location is amazing - you can’t find anything at this price in this area - it’s so perfect because it’s close to the historic part town but in a more local part so it’s quiet and no tourists right where it is. For me I’m very health conscious and I loved that it was less than five minute walk from naturasi the italian bio store and so close to c bio and really lovely organic shop (fancy but so nice) and the Sant’Ambrogio market, which you must not miss if you go - it has local farm fresh food and amazing clothes from more local vendors than all the tourist shops. She has it outfitted with everything you need. I stayed for five weeks while studying and cooked and everything. Chiara was always very fast to respond and when I first arrived she made sure to accommodate everything I needed. She is a kind and conscientious host. Some people complain about the stage but I am an extremely light sleeper and I found with the blind Pmt he window and a little white noise I wasn’t bothered, and people keep pretty nice hours in the building anyway. It was a lovely spot and great place to stay and excellent value. I’d stay again.
