Carmen and her son Alberto were the best hosts! I really can’t say enough good things. The upstairs apartment was everything I needed for my three month stay. There were extra sheets, towels, blankets, the perfect space for lounging, a super cozy bed, and very fast WiFi.
The kitchen was nice and well-stocked. They don’t really use it often, so you basically have it to yourself. Truly had everything I needed.
Carmen was the most amazing host and provided great recommendations and conversations. She doesn’t speak much English (and at the time I didn’t know much Spanish) but Translate worked fine when we needed to communicate. She became a great friend to me and even made me soup when I was sick.
Overall, a 5 star stay in a very safe and lovely neighborhood! Plus the fun colored walls just add to the experience :)
This place became a home away from home and the metro was just a 12 minute walk away with direct access to the city center.
Muchas gracias, Carmen!
p.s. go to Visconti!
