This apartment was perfect for my 1 night stay. It is located just minutes from the Duomo. The area has so much shopping, restaurants, bars and access to public transportation. Getting there by car wasn't overly challenging and Marco's mom was nice enough to meet on the street and let me into the tiny courtyard where I was able to squeeze my car into their dedicated space. It was extremely helpful as driving and parking in Milan is pretty challenging if you're not used to it. The apartment is exactly as described. It's spacious and comfortable. A terrific value for the money. I was extremely pleased with my stay. The area is extremely lively. Full disclosure - if you don't appreciate the sounds of people laughing, having fun and enjoying life you may be annoyed. There are a few bars on the street and the Italian style is that people flow onto the streets to socialize. I found it to be extremely charming and had no problems sleeping but read a few reviews of people complaining about the "noise" which is actually sounds of joy. To me, this place is absolutely perfect and I'd go back again and again. Communication prior to and during the visit is very good and extremely helpful.
