Stayed with Richard for 1 night as a stop over with my boyfriend. He accommodated our request for an early check in, carried my bag,was greeted with Prosecco, a full rundown of the city and a lovely home! It's in a great location, a quick walk to the historic sights and the canal. He was very knowledgable about all of Europe and gave us some great insight about future travel which we surely plan on using and staying in touch with him for our next stay.
The only downside was that we did not get to experience his cooking on our short stay and due to it being such an old/historic building, there was not much of a noise barrier between upstairs and downstairs. However, due to our early departure time, we were surely the ones to wake him up and have no complaints on his end! Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Milan who enjoys a lovely home/room and great company..and wine!
