As Marco was unavailable to meet us for check in, he arranged for his brother to greet us who kindly drove us from the train station to the apartment.
We then had the whole place to ourselves for a day which was nice, as the room was very comfortable and the apartment is very close to the tram stop.
The 4 newborn kittens and 2 cats were also very cute and we enjoyed playing with them whilst we were in the apartment, however, in Marco's absence the cat litter was not cleaned and did smell a bit.
When Marco returned from working away we met him and he was very friendly and polite, he also cleaned up the apartment.
The room is large, taking up the whole basement and has it's own bathroom which is good (the jacuzzi bath was really great, but the shower was not easy to use), the room felt private but it does not have a door, only steps which lead upstairs.
The room was mostly clean, although there were a few cobwebs and the main living space was a little messy.
Overall, a reasonable apartment for a short visit to Milan.
