Richard was an exceptional host. He was very hospitable, and he had great suggestions for food, wine, and places to visit. We had a lot of questions about Milan, and he was immensely helpful in answering all of them -- in nice, fluent English! Finding free parking for our car during our stay was a bit challenging. The accommodations were very clean, though, and the location was convenient for proximity to the Navigli area. It took us a little over half an hour to walk to the Duomo.
