This was the perfect place to stay in Milan. My husband and I stayed there when we flew into Milan for our Italy trip and also the night we flew out. Richard was out of town the first night but left great instructions about how to get a to his place and get a key. The second time we stayed he was present and welcomed us with a bottle of wine to share with him as he gave us great recommendations to go to for our last night. He also let us have the place all to ourself for the entire night. The place was very nice and clean... And was right on the canals which I think was the best place to hang out in Milan! Especially for the nightlife.. Or just the gelato! We plan on staying at Richards place again in the future and just hope next time we can stay a while longer and take a cooking lesson from him. :) Thanks !!
