Francesco‘s place has a great location near the city’s centre which was great for our one night stay on our way back home because it gave us the opportunity to takes a walking in Milan despite the short time we had available.
We have experienced however some let-downs we would like to share so that people don’t get disappointed.
First, the private room is not private at all as it has no working lock on the door.
Next, the cleanliness of the place did not meet our expectations at all. There was not only dust in the room but the bathroom was not in a good condition at all.
Also a big disappointment for us was the lack of any drinking water. As a guest at Francesco’s place you don’t have any access to the kitchen, there was however no bottled water available in the room or even a single glass if you wanted to drink tap water from the bathroom. As we were only for one night and we arrived quite late, we didn’t have any water with us and it was quite uncomfortable for us.
Last but not least, the accommodation is offered with a breakfast but this could hardly be called a breakfast. Yes, indeed Francesco took care to provide us with one muffin and one cookie for two people, but there was no coffee, tea and again, not even a glass of water.
So Francesco’s place is great if you do not have any of those expectations and you are interested in having a place to sleep which is well located near to the city centre at a relatively good price.
