Stayed in Ric's apartment for four nights and we've been really happy with our stay. This was my first experience on airbnb and Ric made it truly special by helping out with my unusual request to have something delivered to the apartment before arriving. The apartment is easy to reach with the metro and since the closest stop (Pasteur) is on the M1 line, you can get pretty much everywhere important in under 30 minutes.
The neighborhood looked a bit rough looking it up beforehand but it's actually not that bad at all. Having a supermarket a 20 meter walk away was very helpful for getting something for breakfast and dinner. We cooked our own pasta in the kitchen and enjoyed the complementary bottle of wine you find on the table at the arrival.
Ric is very friendly and responsive and helped out with any doubts or questions I had within minutes or just a few hours. I'm not sure if all hosts are this great but you surely can't go wrong with him. We sadly couldn't meet him in person but he's got a lovely lady helping him out on site who was also very friendly.
If I'm unsure where to stay in Milan the next time I'm there I will surely check Ric's apartment for availability first.
