Marco is an amazing host! His check-in procedure is very enjoyable and useful; it includes a brief history lesson, life advice and explanations on how to use every facility of the building. A lovely way to start your trip in Milan!
The building has a beautiful, historic courtyard and is located just a five minute walk from Duomo. The vintage surroundings give you a true Milanese experience. Marco has supplied the apartment with all facilities one might need and he makes you feel right at home.
However, the apartment is not spacious and has a DIY feeling to it - great if you enjoy that! The bathroom is quirky - no separate shower place, just a shower head in the room with the toilet and no door. It is separated from the rest of the room with a shower curtain. Additionally, the second double bed is not really a bed - it is a thin mattress placed on the floor in the semi-attic.
Great price for young people staying for a few days, but not ideal for convenience.
