We were warmly welcomed by Rita (Francos mother in law) and the flat was well equipped: Kitchen, sleeping room, bathroom and terrace was equipped with everything we needed for a couple of day in Milan.
Food, Drinks, and little markets can be found quite near as well as the Metrostation.
We stayed in contact with Francos wife veronica who offered help with any problems. We didn't need it, but we were glad that someone would be there to help.
