Marco was a great host! He met us at the apartment, oriented us to Milan, and was very accommodating - he even let us breakfast foods and coffee. When we had a slight glitch with the water heater (it was not broke, just turned off) he was right on it and we got it corrected immediately.
The apartment is eclectic and fun - very comfortable and in a great location: in a quiet location, yet very near the Milan Central train station and with easy access to Milan's wonderful metro system.
