Francesca was a fabulous host! She gave us very simple, accurate directions on how to arrive to her home, and we were greeted by a sweet smile and warm, cherry atmosphere. Since it was our first night in town, she was very understanding of our need to overcome jet lag but also gave us great recommendations on places to grab food and drink. Her house was beautiful and had everything we needed, and it's in a great neighborhood for exploring and walking around (we felt very safe as we did so in the evening). She's also located in close proximity to downtown and/or public transportation to get to the city center. I wish we could have stayed in Milan longer and highly recommend staying in her home!
