By far the best experience! Francesco definitely went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay at his place, Milano, and Italia all together.
Although he wasn't able to be there for my check-in, he was able to cover his bases and have his mom (who brought homemade Italian cookies!) and bother check me into the home.
He also gave me all types of recommendations. His home was conveniently close to the stazione, reasonably priced, cozy, and modern.
For another host to live up to Francesco will sure be difficult. How I wish I met you Francesco! Soon we shall meet again! Ciao! :D
