Location wise, Richard's place is next to Navigli, a place for evening hangout. Duomo is a tram ride away, and directions to come from Milano Centrale are clear and easy to follow.

When we reached the entrance of the courtyard, we couldn't get Richard on the intercom for quite a while. Richard warmly welcomed us 5min after he picked up the intercom. He was really friendly and bubbly despite the jetlag from his business trip, and gave good tips on food places, hangouts, shopping, attractions. The room was not ready so we left our bags at the living room and went out. Richard tidied the place and brought our bags up (thanks!).

When we came home, the room was ready but I have to say that the photos heightened my expectations of the room. The room was spacious, with more than enough space to walk and put your coats/shoes/etc. The bedsheets looked old, there were cobwebs on the wooden pillar (next to the bed!). There were used maps and brochures on the table, probably left by the previous guests.

The experience was quite different from the other B&Bs that we stayed at in the same trip, and I was disappointed, especially because this is the most pricey B&B of the trip.
