Me and my partner's first experience with AirBnb was with Richard, who was a fantastic host with helping us find good places to eat, the best way to get around Milan and had excellent knowledge of the local area of Naviglio.

He messaged us beforehand to make sure we had a smooth arrival, and was very accessible if we had any problems. For example, we got bitten by mosquitoes on the first night and Richard helped us with sprays and a vaporiser. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay and I couldn’t find a single fault - definitely a SuperHost.

The apartment is magnificent in person and even better than looking at the photos. It’s beautifully traditional, very well decorated and very spacious. The bedroom was clean and tidy, and we were very thankful for the fridge and biscuit jars full of food. The neighbourhood is quiet at night, and we did not encounter any problems with safety. There were multiple ways of getting around Milan from the house, including a minute walk to a tram and bus stop and a 15 minute walk to the local metro station. The tram is good enough to travel directly to key stations and attractions in Milan.

If we were to stay in Milan again, then we would definitely spend our time at Richard's apartment.

P.S. Luna was one of the best surprises on the trip, she is a sweet, calm and adorable dog who greeted us every time we walked into the apartment.
