At Francesca's, we found a home away from home. She left us goodies to start off our stay, and a supermarket, pharmacy, bus and subway transportation, a few restaurants, and takeouts were all within 3 to 10 minutes of walking distance. So convenient. Small details were amazing, like the umbrella in the hallway closet. We definitely needed it this trip.
Her "garden in town" has become our go-to place when in Milan since it is close to family and avoids the hustle and bustle of downtown Milan while being easily accessible by subway. The best of both worlds.
In summary, an absolutely delightful host and a wonderful place to stay. I can only imagine what it might be like during the spring and the summer, and look forward to renting the house in the future.
Thank you for sharing it!
