Marco's place is not far away from the train station, 8 stops and you are there. He actually in front of the building when we arrived! The apartment is huge in european standard, and right in the center of the city .. nearby you will find groceries market, and coffee shops for sandwich and snacks. Within walking distance are shops and tourists attractions. Marco is a excellent host, he had a plumber to fix the bathroom to make sure its run for us .. and he let my wife to smoke in the terrace (and close the door!). Speaks English really well. I will be back to Marco's when I am in Milan .. thank you Marco ...
