Looking for something different than the usual hotels while visiting a city, we decided for our trip to Milan to book into Marco’s apartment via Air B’n’B.
One criteria were of course the excellent ratings the host already had under his belt, but also the location of the apartment close to the city centre, but not located in a tourist area.
Bottom line first: We were not disappointed in any regards. Marco is an excellent host and extraordinary kind. The apartment is perfect for two people, clean and comfortable.

Marco picked us up at the tram station to which he had guided us via text and e-mail messages beforehand.
After arrival at the apartment we were given a brief introduction to all facilities and functionalities there. Furthermore Marco explained us about Milan and where to go and what to do. All his tips and hints turned out to be worthwhile and helpful. Besides that, Marco offered us to contact him on any issue or question we might have during our time in Milan. We only had a minor question for him later, but even that was answered immediately and in an extremely helpful manner. He even helped use to regain ownership of our lost luggage, since it did not make it with us to our final destination Milan. So all in all, Marco proved to be an extraordinary host, who is very much interested in the well-being of his guests.

The apartment itself was very comfortable, very clean and had a lot of charm. A balcony from the bed room and another one from the living room were the icing on the cake.
In the bathroom we found the luxury of a shower and a bathtub as well as a washing machine. Located on the third floor of a older apartment building, it was easily accessible by elevator or through the staircase. The elevator is most likely from the late 50ies, but works fine, serves the purpose and adds to charm of the spot. Building and flat are in excellent stand and appear to be modernised and maintained frequently.

The next time we go to Milan, Marco's apartment is for sure one of our first choices when it comes to accommodation.
