Richard is a great host. His flat in centrally located with many restaurants, bars and shops right our the back or the front door. Check out happy hour on the canal. You just might get stuffed from the finger foods and skip dinner. Very lively area and a short and pleasant walk to Duomo. Inside his place has a rustic vibe and is very well kept and quiet at night. There is some construction nearby making public transport a bit of a challenge, so it's best to get turn by turn directions to find his place. Once you are there, you can just walk everywhere. I would recommend Richard. His charisma, hospitality and insight into the city are worth an extra look. Nothing beats a great host + location. Cheers
