I would definitely recommend Marco as a host; he was an excellent communicator before and during my stay, and also at check out (he is very prompt to reply to messages). Marco's loft in Milan is lovely!; it is an ideal location (many choices of café and restaurants locally and not too far from main city centre); good value for money; very clean; and the hot tub after a day of shopping was a welcome bonus! 5 stars! You will not be disappointed ;)
