Wow. .... What an experience.
This is not just an AirBnB.... its exactly that, an experience.
Richard is just fantastic.
From the moment we booked until the time we left, his communication response was quick and helpful.
His apartment was very easy to find and we were greeted warmly by this lovely man with a nice drink and a sit down relaxed chat.
It was really nice after a day of travel.
The apartment is in a typical old Milanese courtyard which is just gorgeous with a real community feel.
The apartment is beautifully decorated, clean and tidy.
The private bedroom is in a loft and is just perfect with a comfortable bed.
Richard thoughtfully also even has a powerboard with relevant world adapters for your international devices.
We took the experience of having Richard cook for us on our first night there so we could sit, eat and talk about the area. Oh My....not only did he cook but we had the most lovliest of dinner parties (and lots of wine) with 2 of his friends from the block as well and never once felt on the outer. It was a real experience and memories I will take with me forever.
I visited Richard with my partner Melissa for 4 nights and we NEVER felt like visitors in his home, we were made to feel like it was home.
The bathroom is spotless, the shower was fantastic and we were able to get a good load of washing done and dried while here.
There were NO additional charges by Richard other than what AirBnB originally charged so I'm not entirely sure what a previous reviewer was referring to.
Richards apartment is a 15 min walk from the Duomo but it takes so much longer because of the wonderful shops along the way.
It is in a fabulous area of cafe's and bars along the canal at night with no shortage of places to have an Apertivo or Dine.
It's the best area of Milan at night.
It was an incredible experience.
Richard was not only our host for 4 nights but has become a friend who we would love to have at home in Australia to return his hospitality.
You were fantastic Richard in every way.
See you again. ... and it won't be soon enough.
