Marco is a very cordial host, and we enjoyed meeting him. The apartment is one of the most creatively, eccentrically decorated homes we've ever encountered, and our short stay there was fun and interesting. Everything we needed was there, and it was comfortable -- we would just note that there a lot of stairs. Good exercise -- but perhaps not everyone's ideal. The location is relatively central -- it's a medium walk or short metro ride to the very center -- the Duomo, etc. But most of all, we enjoyed being in this very creatively appointed environment, filled with fun and lovely objects and art. We would definitely recommend Marco's apartment.
