My husband and I stayed a couple of days in Francesca's lovely apartment in Navigli. The apartment is nicely renovated and well equiped, and the area is both picturesque and very lively. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés and thanks to the canals slightly more airy than downtown Milan. Francesca and her husband are the most helpful and kind hosts and in addition very flexible concerning check-in and check-out. We highly recommend Francesca's apartment for a stay in Milan and hope to be allowed to return soon!
