Altogether a fine experience.
Upon a late arrival we were met at the apartment by Francesco's mother. Unfortunately her English was as good as our Italian, but we managed to get the basic details and quickly settled in.
The apartment is as described and within easy walking distance of both good bread and cake shop as well as a pretty good supermarket.
Manzoni metro is only a 5 minute walk away.
Apartment had air con which was most welcome as temps did not fall much below 30 degrees during the day
