This is a lovely place to stay. We chose to purchase food from the local market and sit on the balcony for dinner. The apartment is a little hard to get to from the train station. A tram gets you close, but can be confusing (and the ticket shop was closed when we tried to buy a ticket). We took a taxi for 10 Euros. Be sure Marco is there to meet you at the door because there is no way to get in the first time without him letting you in. Although we only had a short "stop over" in Milan on our way to Lake Como, we loved the one night stay at Marco's place.
