This apartment is within a very comfortable walking distance to the centre of town and has a great atmosphere. In addition, hopping on a tram to get to the metro system is also very convenient with trams going back and forth from Duomo at regular intervals depending upon whether weekday peak times or weekends.

The apartment itself is very comfortable and the attic room with a wonderful view to the church tower is a welcome retreat to a day spent sightseeing or experiencing the Milanese life.

Richard is an amazing host and he deserves the accolades as a super host. He gave great directions to his home, had a welcoming note and glass of wine ready upon arrival, with maps to help with orientation around the city to all the key sights. Not only that, but many recommendations of great places to eat from a local's perspective.

Richard goes out of his way to help one feel welcome and ensure that guests are comfortable. He helped me by taking me even to a telecommunications shop to get a local SIM card to use in Italy and getting it set up for me.

Plus, he organised such a wonderful dinner with his friends and cooked a fabulous dinner with such thought and care, sharing many laughs and good conversation over lovely food and great wine. It was such a memorable evening, and if you have the opportunity then take Richard up on his offer to cook for you at least for one evening.

I can highly recommend both the apartment and Richard. What made my stay in Milan most memorable was Richard's warmth and care, and his extension of welcome to include me with his friends. It was a great honour.

Thank you Richard!
