Marco's flat is lovely. I've never seen a home with so much _stuff_ in it that remains tidy and liveable. Everywhere you look there is something interesting on the walls or shelves. Very comfortable, not too loud given it's right in the city and easy access to Metro, trams etc. A great spot for exploring Milan. Some decent restaurants and bars nearby - we liked Bar Kafana in the next street - but the pick is Osteria del Treno, a five minute walk away, where we had a truly great meal.
