The good: The apartment is perfectly located, a two block walk from the Cadorna train station, where you can hop on the Malpensa Express to the airport. Beautiful neighborhood, lots of great restaurants. The apartment is clean, has a nice living room and two nice bedrooms with two nice bathrooms. We loved the location and the apartment. We appreciated that the apartment was stocked by Francesca with Proseco, Orange juice, creamer, and some muesli for breakfast with milk. Very thoughtful.
The bad: We were broken into the first day of our arrival. Someone broke the flimsy single lock [the key we were provided for the apartment] and rifled through all of our baggage, looking for jewelry and money while we stepped out to eat. It was a terrible experience. Francesca responded immediately, and provided us with a key to a much better lock that existed on the door--a five bolt lock that would have kept anyone out.
I would rent this apartment again, but only if Francesca provides the key to the five bolt lock, since there have been other break-ins in this apartment building. It is a locked apartment building but not difficult for an outsider to get into.
