We had a great family time at Francesca’s apartment with our 5 year old in tow. The apartment is near Metro and as such easy to commute to and from and we used it as a base to explore Milan and Lake Como. Francesca’s dad was very helpful and made arrangements for us to check a little earlier as our flight landed early - we flew into Linate airport which is also easily accessible as we got a cab to the apartment which was just a couple minutes.
