Marco's apartment was ideal for my long-term stay in Milan. It is on a quiet street, yet very close to Isola, with its bevy of bars and hangouts, as well as its street market where you can get fresh fruit, etc. twice a week. It is also very close to the purple, yellow, and green subway lines, which allow you to get anywhere else in the city with relative ease. Inside, not only is there ample space, but the open layout, skylights, and balcony contribute to a light and warm atmosphere, while the air conditioning is a big plus in the summer. The apartment includes all the amenities you could need (it even has a washing machine), yet it also has charming touches, such as the wonderful, fully-stocked bookshelves. Finally, Marco was always very responsive when need be, and was a clear communicator. Overall, I highly recommend it, but think it is especially suited to those who are looking for a place, not simply to stay, but to live while they are in Milan.
