Traveller in my 30s with a group from 40s to 70s. Absolutely no issues finding Marco’s house, flat ground all the way and it was an easy walk to the train stations (both for the smaller and main station) which made travelling incredibly easy. It was my first trip to Milan and I contemplated changing my destination to stay near the Duomo as I was afraid that staying near the main train station would be dangerous. Grateful I did not do so. Marco’s place is near the train station yet located in a safe area (I ventured out for food nightly and never felt unsafe) and his house is located opposite a police station. The house itself is incredible, I wasn’t expecting the space provided given that it’s Milan but there was ample space for 5 of us. Big toilet near the rooms and nice living and dinning area for us to gather for meals and to spend time. Everything was well provided for and there are minimarts, train stations all within short walking distance. Marco is incredibly warm and hospitable, he came to meet us on the street on our first day so we won’t be lost and sent us off (despite the rain). He was so easily contactable and provided great recommendations for food. He recommended San Giogio 2-3 mins from our place for local food and it had the widest range of Italian food that tasted incredible and was affordable priced (compared to all the restaurants we tried through Milan, Venice and Rome). We had three- four meals there and I’m glad I did so!
