Marcelo was such an excellent host! His apartment is beautiful--by far one of the nicest I've ever stayed in. First off, if you're coming straight from MXP, it's about 45 mins by bus (which will drop you off about five mins from the apartment)--Marcelo actually let us know this and saved us all the hassle of going through the city beforehand.

The building itself is in a gated community and definitely feels safe (as did the neighborhood). The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable as well as immaculately cleaned. It is a bit outside the city center but a brief walk will take you to a metro station which will take you into the heart of Milan. Marcelo provided us with a bunch of really useful information about the neighborhood and had left out a bunch of sight-seeing material for Milan. In the morning, he left us a wonderful breakfast spread and made us coffee. All in all, Marcelo was an excellent host and I would not hesitate to book again!
