Francesco was an extremely kind and helpful host. He helped update me on the train schedules since the train company I was using on the way to Milan was on strike. On top of that, he recommended several amazing restaurants to me, and even gave me a ride to one of them on his scooter. His apartment is very well maintained, beautifully designed, and close to the Duomo and other good places as well. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone visiting the city.
