Marco's apartment was spacious enough for two people and exactly as pictured. It was conveniently located near main transport links; just a short tram and a few metro stops to get to Duomo square (Milan Cathedral). The neighbourhood was quiet but had all the required amenities. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Marco but he arranged for someone else to meet us and show us around the apartment; this process went very smoothly. We enjoyed our short trip in Milan and would definitely recommend Marco's apartment as a base for exploring the city.
