MilanRentals – Francesca Apartment

MilanRentals – Francesca Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking into MilanRentals – Francesca Apartment, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a rental property near the train station — but this place surprised me. It’s tucked on a quiet stretch of Schiaparelli Giovanni, just far enough from the main chaos of Stazione Centrale to feel peaceful, but close enough that you can practically roll your suitcase there in five minutes. The building itself has that understated Milanese elegance you don’t always find in tourist areas.

The Space That Works

The apartment feels more like staying at a stylish friend’s place than a typical hotel room. You know what I mean — there’s actual personality here, with thoughtful touches that make it clear someone cares about the details. The kitchen is small but totally functional, which saved me a fortune since I could grab fresh ingredients from the markets near Porta Garibaldi and actually cook something decent. For a four-star property, the space feels surprisingly generous.

Location Reality Check

Here’s the thing about staying near Centrale — yes, it’s not the most glamorous neighborhood in Milan, but it’s incredibly practical. I could catch the Malpensa Express without dragging my luggage across the city, and the Metro connections are right there when you want to hit Duomo or the fashion district. The area actually has some solid local spots too — there’s this tiny trattoria around the corner that serves better risotto than half the tourist traps in Brera.

Daily Life Here

What I appreciated most was how the place lets you live like a normal person for a few days. There’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving (though honestly, you won’t need a car in Milan), and the neighborhood has that authentic Italian rhythm where locals grab their morning coffee and actually chat with the barista. The apartment stays quiet even during rush hours, which is impressive considering how close you are to one of Europe’s busiest train stations.

Why Guests Love It

This isn’t the kind of place that tries to wow you with marble lobbies or a fancy spa — instead, it delivers exactly what most travelers actually need. Good WiFi, comfortable beds, a space to spread out your stuff, and a location that makes sense. The 8.6 rating makes total sense when you realize how rare it is to find a rental that feels this thoughtfully managed. Whether you’re here for business meetings in Porta Nuova or planning day trips around Lombardy, MilanRentals – Francesca Apartment gives you a genuine slice of Milan life without the tourist markup.

Reviews of MilanRentals – Francesca Apartment

• It was very peacefull and comfortable! – Romario from Albania – 3 November 2025 (10/10)

  Spacious and cousy
  
  What could be improved: The location and parking

• Exceptional – Mario from Croatia – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  Lokacija je odlična, kreveti su udobni.
  
  What could be improved: Upute za ulazak su pisane jasno i razumljivo kao za dijete iz vrtića, ali točka kako otvoriti ulazna vrata od zgrade nije dobro opisana

• Exceptional – Georgiana from Romania – 14 November 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was amazing. We were 6 and has plenty of space. our apartment had 3 bedrooms, 5 beds and 2 bathrooms. our stay was amazing. We even joked about wanting to move into the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing i can say could be improved, would be the heating system. would be good to have a bit more heat and not wait until the temperature dropped to 20 degrees. it was cold in the apartment but we made it happen.

• Good for big families – Jordan from United Kingdom – 8 October 2024 (8/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: No lounge area

• Looks nice but temper your expectations – Veronica from United Kingdom – 24 March 2024 (6/10)

  It's very close to the train station but you have to go out and around to get to it. The rooms are well set up for a family (less so for younger kids because there's a balcony off that room). Kitchen and bathroom are very modern, and it's well appointed.
  
  What could be improved: Dishes in the cupboard were dirty. It was crazy noisy, with street noise and neighbours. Very warm so we had to have the windows open. And there was a roach in the kitchen when I went to grab a glass of water! 🤢 I notified them, sent them a pic of it, and they said they'd contact building maintenance right away.

• Muy buen alojamiento en Milán – Montse from Spain – 24 January 2024 (9/10)

  Está muy bien ubicado, muy cerca de la Estación Central de dónde sale el metro que lleva al centro y los trenes para el aeropuerto o visitar otros lugares, Lago Como, Bérgamo…
  Muy bien climatizado, no pasas frio y se está muy cómodo
  Las camas tambíen són muy cómodas
  
  What could be improved: En la misma calle había obras municipales y por las mañanas empezaba el ruido muy pronto, pero entendemos que no es culpa del anfitrión

• Exceptional – Emjay from Kuwait – 11 October 2023 (10/10)

  It was an amazing stay we had, very affordable for a big apartment so close to all.
  
  What could be improved: Only the washing machine was difficult to operate and the heated water in the bathroom was not continuous.

• Convenient Location – Gonçalo from Norway – 8 September 2023 (8/10)

  The apartment is big, with 2 big toilets and the rooms are ok. The location is quite convenient due to its proximity to the central station and restaurants. There Is also a supermarket just 2min away.
  
  What could be improved: The common area is not very spacious and it is missing a few things (a decent amount of wine glasses, for example). The trains stop late at night and start early in the morning, so it can be a bit noisy sometimes.

• Very good place to stay in Milan – Ankur from United Kingdom – 31 August 2023 (9/10)

  Very close to the train station and easy to commute everywhere. The host provided clear instructions to get in. Also they provided everything that we needed.
  
  What could be improved: Not much to dislike. Just that we were told there were neighbours downstairs who could complain to police if my we make any noise after 9pm. I guess it’s more applicable for those partying but was a concern as I have 2 young kids who won’t be always tied up to the bed! Also a dishwasher was missing but it didn’t bother us as we washed dishes manually.

• Great experience – Reem from Saudi Arabia – 6 August 2023 (10/10)

  Nice
  
  What could be improved: Nothing
