The house is situated in the residential area of Milan, maybe not the fanciest neighbourhood but a safe and quite one and it is well connected to the centre by green line of the metro (Cimiano stop). There are couple of shops and cafes in the streets around. I liked a small takeaway pizza place "Mani in pasta" that Francesca recommended. The apartment is really big and bright. It is newly renovated and everything is in good condition. Francesca showed it to me herself and left a bottle of wine and some pasta as a welcome gift. I cooked nice dinners and served them at the terrace, it was very enjoyable. The kitchen is fully equipped (even a blender) and the same concerns other rooms (there is a washing machine, iron, hair blower, CD/DVD player etc). The bed is comfortable and the bedroom has air conditioning so I rested well after a long work trip. Milan is not my favourite city but I really loved my stay at Francesca's apartment.
