Francesco's apartment is in the best part of Milan. Brera is like a beautiful Italian village with lovely restaurants and the nearby park is perfect for a morning run or walk. The apartment was clean and quiet and an ideal base. Don't worry if Francesco doesn't respond to messages as I did worry when this happened and we were arriving from Australia early in the morning, well before check in time. When we arrived at the apartment Francesco's mum was there to greet us. It was all very smooth.
