The host Marco is a extremely helpful person nothing is a problem or a bother for him. The house is well equiped and has EVERYTHING you will need for your stay in Milan whether it is a for a few days or a few weeks like we did. Communication on checkin and afterwards was excellent. I can't recommend this apartment highly enough. It is 5 minutes walk from Porta Venezia and Palestro metros (red line m1) and From Palestro it's only 1 stop to San Babila and 2 to Duomo. There are great restaurants in the area such as Cataluna Osteria around the corner in Viale Piave which is extremely good value with really excellent food - you can have a three course meal with wine for 75 euro for two. There is a large supermarket just 100 metres away too so eating in or out is very easy. Trams go past the front door to Central FS and Doumo or to Lambrate and Porta Genova so travelling around the city is very easy. I highly recommend Marco's apartment.
