Morning gratitude for my hosts: if hostels received stars for service, the Ostello Bello in Milan would top the charts.\u00a0 The underlying architecture is fine, but what they’ve done with it is a joy.<\/p>\n
They have:
\n– a friendly two-level pub area open to the public, where the locals all come to drink and play guitar and play games. drinks at half the standard pub price
\n– balconies to relax w\/ guests on the 2d and 3d floors, with space for a dozen people on each
\n– awesome creatures and figures painted along the walls and ceilings of the building and stairwells
\n– a handy surplus of power outlets (~10 per floor + 10 on the balconies) and wifi (4 access points for ~80 guests)
\n– a free drink when you arrive; homemade cakes every morning after breakfast<\/p>\n
Visit if you can, and see for yourself\u00a0🏖\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
