Francesca's apartment is very chic. It is fragrant (really) and very clean. Can be compared to a hotel suite. It is also truly near the metro station and a Simply grocery store and Milan Centrale station. I should just mention that the apartment has 3 sets of stairs with no lift. So this may be an issue for those with mobility problems or with heavy luggages. I should note though that my 76 year old mother had no problem going up. Apart from that, the place is great and comfortable. Francesca also communicates well.
