I stayed in Francesca place for just short of two weeks. The place was spacious, clean and well equipped. Francesca has styled it to her tastes (Balinese/Asian) giving the apartment a homely but still modern feel. The bedroom was spacious with a small but still comfortable single bed. The private bathroom was an appreciated bonus and had a great shower. Francesca is a great host, she even provided a paper map and some tips on Milan. Her place is within a short walk to restaurants, bars and a grocery store. The only downside to the location is that its not conveniently located near a metro stop. It takes about 20 minutes via tram to reach the Duomo and 30 minutes walking. The walk to the Duomo is second to none and one of the great pleasures of the location. You pass by the Arco della Pace, through the Sempione Park, through the Sforzesco Castle and after a few blocks you're at the Duomo. I found Francesca place a good value and really enjoyed my stay.
