The apartment was just as promised and more! Situated only two hundred metres from the Metro station, Porto Genova, we were in the heart of the Navigli district where we enjoyed the choice of many restaurants and bars. Fresh croissants for breakfast each morning were obtained from the local bakery, the supermarket was only a five minute walk and the local market was nearby if more fresh food was needed. We didn't meet Francesca, unfortunately, but she left full instructions on the key placement and other apartment details. A wonderful cozy apartment with a really comfortable kingsize bed, small washing machine, many tourist brochures and above all, two air conditioners and plenty of space. Highly recommended for a holiday where you can just blend in with the locals yet have Milan at your fingertips.
