Ricardo is a superb host. We (family of 6) were a bit behind schedule and we didn't check in until 11pm. We met Ricardo outside the building in the rain, he assisted us with parking and even helped bringing one of our suitcases up the stairs to the 5th floor (elevator was out of order as mentioned beforehand and Richard reduced the rent for this reason). He welcomed us with a massive bowl of fresh fruits and showed us around even though it was close to midnight. He even went back home and got an UK adaptor for us as we desperately needed one.

The flat is a very spacious one with 3 huge double bedrooms. It's only a short walk to the centre ( 25 min walk to Duomo). There are 2 balconies in the flat, one big one with washing machine connecting two bedrooms, in other one in the kitchen overseeing the street. There's a supermarket and a bakery just next to the apartment. The only flip side of the flat would be the number of bathroom and noise from the trains. Even so, we had a really comfortable stay, wish it could be longer than only 2 nights.
