Francesco was great with communication. He met us at the train station and walked us back to his apartment. He had lots of great local tips for us, and even texted during our stay to make sure we were having a good time in Milan. His place is very modern, spacious, comfortable, and clean. Easy walk to two Metro Stations, and a quick, cheap Metro ride to get to the Duomo. In warmer weather, we may have even walked. His apartment is in a quiet business district, and we felt very safe. I highly recommend Francesco's place!
