Marco is a great host meeting us to introduce us to the apartment and giving advice about the neighborhood. The location is excellent for the M5 Metro offering easy access to MiCo convention center—really just 15 minutes away by metro from the apartment to registration; I timed it. It’s also great for the delicious gelato across the street! The apartment is on the second floor along the street so we were occasionally greeted by the noise of city life but that disappeared with the windows closed. As a result, ceiling fans were a blessing during the warm summer nights. I stayed here a week sharing the apartment with a relative who enjoyed using it as a base for walking around Milano and day trips to Lake Como and beyond. There was enough space for the two of us.
