I stayed in Francesca's private room for 3 nights and I had a pretty good time. Francesca provided wonderful explanations and pamphlets full of information on Milan tourism, shopping and transportation.

The building is old but clean. I enjoyed the amenities such as the fridge full of fruit, the kettle/tea and my own private bathroom. The bathroom was tight but manageable. However, on the morning of my third day before I left, I had no hot water all morning and was forced not to take a shower at all. The wifi connection wasn't the best, with on and off patches for a couple hours. It was reasonably quiet; however, on the Saturday night of my stay they had people over from around 10:00pm - 1:00am. I was not impressed by how noisy they were while entering and leaving the apartment considering the landing is right outside the rooms door. I also got some bug bites overnight despite always leaving the doors and window closed due to the rain.

Despite all of these bumps in the road I spent little time at the apartment since it takes 30 minutes from the n54 bus to go to the duomo. Also, there are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
