Marco greeted us at the door and put us both on the tiny elevator while he carried our bags up several flights of stairs--above and beyond! He then gave us a tour of his spacious and lovely apartment, pointing out the light switches, the two balconies, how to use the stove and where to find anything we might need. He then talked with us about Milan, giving us tips on where to go and how to get around and also telling us about the character of the city and how it differs from Rome. We also talked about ourselves and got to know each other. It was easy to connect with him. We enjoyed his company and felt relaxed and at home.

The apartment is well located--a short tram ride from the train station and close to the subway. It is also central enough to be able to walk to major sites. Groceries, restaurants and shops are all close by. The apartment was clean, comfortable and roomy. Highly recommended!
