Marco is a most gracious and welcoming host. We arrived on separate days and he met both of us at the train station. He was very helpful with sightseeing recommendations. The apartment has an ecelectic decor that may not suit the minimalist. It is clean and comfortable with an almost American-size bathroom. Conveniently located - 5 minute walk to the Repubblica metro station, 10 minute walk to Milano Centrale. Good value for the money. Would stay there again.
