400 years ago there were no hotels. But the building where Marco's place is was built around that time. The apartment is tiny but it has the atmosphere only age can bring with it. If you are reading this you will appreciate that. Small makes it cozy and eccentric as all the essentials are there, cramped together in novel ways - along with some great antique furniture. The location is so great you will be out there exploring Milan anyway. I recommend this unique apartment to any single traveller and to people who travel light. As for couples with lots of luggage, do consider that there will be little room for disagreement. Marco will usually give you a hands-on tour of how the building and apartment work and that is necessary as no one could guess all the lovely quirks of the building, None of it is difficult or complicated, it's just that you need to know. If you find a standard room boring, you will find this one pretty exciting, I did. One stand-out feature is the very quiet courtyard location. It was great to get quality rest and then walk out to the very busy street just outside. All the sights are within walking distance and most are accessible riding the lovely and affordable Milan tram network. The nearest stop is really close.
