We visited Milan during 31st Oct & 3rd Nov 2019. Francesco's place is very close to Milano Centrale train station and the apartment is sparklingly clean with necessary basic cooking facilities. It has a double bed and a sofa-cum-bed which is more than sufficient for a family of three.
Even though we were delayed due to late arrival, Francesco was prompt enough to personally check us in and immediately made us comfortable. Room heating, lighting and storage space is just perfect and place is reasonably silent during night hours. Republica Metro is just outside and Duomo is 20 mins. walk and all facilities are nearby.
We would love to comeback to Francesco's place again.
