Staying at Francesco's house was a marvellous experience. The house is very nicely designed and luxurious with a large bathroom, well equipped kitchen and a spacious bedroom and living room. Next to that the place is very modern, nicely decorated and full of useful items like mosquito screens and electrical shutters
The supermarket is across the street and the metro is 2 streets down the road. The area it's situated in is mostly residential which means that if you go to a restaurant or bar you'll be surrounded by locals (which I always prefer over touristy places). 2 stops with the metro or 15 minutes by bike and you're back at the Duomo.
Next to the apartment itself it was great to get to know Francesco as well. He's interesting, well-travelled and educated. And moreover just a nice guy to hang out with. He told us good places for breakfast, lunch, dinner, for ‘Apperitivo’ and for clubbing. If you want a stay in luxurious well designed apartment at the edge of the city centre I would definitely recommend this place.
