Me and my friend Avi slept in Richard's place for 3 nights. From my experience in ABNB, Rich is the classic host you expect to meet. Therefor he has more than 300 reviews
To be hosted by Richard it is a wonderful experience not only because of the very special building of 300 years history and the cute apartment, but mainly because his special personality, his origin, the places where he grew and lived ( India, London, NYC) and the culture he absorbed in those places and in his family.All these makes him a wonderful host and staying in Rich place one of the nicest experiences that you will carry with you after leaving Milano. If you will order one of the diners he is a specialist in making them (we choose Indian food, obviously) and you will dine with him or with his friends, you will enjoy a wonderful evening.
Talking about the other banal meters, the apartment is cute and comfortable, the building is really unique, location is great (just 5 min walk to the tram station that will bring you to the center, near Duomo) the street is full of many kind of shops starting with WIND, where you can buy a local SIM card, to the coffee shop next to the courtyard where you can eat breakfast like Piedine, full of typical Italian tasting stuffing, salad and fresh cakes with good coffee, with the local people. Therefore Avi and I became a friend of this cute Indian-Portuguese person. Thank you Richard.
