Prior to arrival to Milan our host Marco was great with communication. On arrival Marco kindly met us at the train station and escorted us to his home. This made things so much easier and we were most appreciative. Marco also carried my bag up the 8 flight of stairs ( which we were aware of).
Marco was most gracious and welcoming, he gave us a thorough tour of his home which is a menagerie of the most wonderful knick knacks & furniture. He stayed a while and gave us some very informative information of the area. This was most helpful when we went touring the city.
Marco kindly left drinks & supplies for us also. His home was clean and tidy. The location was great, short walk to train station, subway, nice restaurants only minutes away. It is a very safe secure home.
Being the middle of summer it was very hot, there were some fans, but we found the heat quite uncomfortable - this is really our only complaint.
Overall we were extremely happy and would be happy to stay there again.
