Francesco's place is in a good location in regards to the city center. The metro is only a 3 mins walk from the apartment. By metro, It took roughly around 10 mins to reach the city center. We were able to sightsee everything by walking and Metro. There are great restaurants located near the apartment. Felt very safe and comfortable. The only issue is that Milan has a law that healing goes off at 10 PM every night. During the winter, make sure you ask for more blankets as we were extremely cold the entire stay. Every time we needed something, he responded within minutes!! Great communication and great people! Thank you for the stay!
