My son and I spent a week in Milan to see the sights and attend EXPO2015. Our criteria for lodging included: close to a main train station and metro stop, host that spoke English, and two separate sleeping spaces. This apartment met all our criteria, and is well represented by the photos online.
Marco is an excellent host, meeting us on our arrival and helping getting bags upstairs. He also thoughtfully provided breakfast food and drink. We used the well-equipped kitchen for several meals, and also the washing machine. The apartment is nicely furnished, with lots of seating and books. The large balcony looks over a small park, and is quiet in spite of being in a large city. And the shower is a work of art!
We walked from the Milan Central train station with our luggage, but had a little trouble locating the apartment as the map on the listing shows the apartment a couple blocks from it's actual location. Also, we were disappointed in the beds, as the mattresses were only a few inches thick, placed on a floor frame and not comfortable for my old bones!
We took advantage of the Milan app created by Marco in planning shopping visits to nearby neighborhoods. Thanks again to Marco for sharing his home with us.
