Richard was an excellent host and exceptionally responsive to any messages. His apartment is beautifully appointed, with tasteful and comfortable furnishings. The area is lovely, although we weren’t able to fully explore it. One of his excellent suggestions was to use G7 taxis, which I was able to book either in advance or at the time needed, and we never waited more than 3 minutes. The building and his apartment are very well maintained and in a quiet neighborhood.
