Help with stop location

We are planning a trip to Italy, Rome, Florence and Venice. My husband has given me a choice of stopping in London for 3 days or ending our trip in Milan for 3 days, could you travelers please help me decide.

Is that three nights or four nights? London is my favorite big city, so an easy decision for me. Milan is fine for a quick stop, but I wouldn't want three full days there.

Well, I guess London it is. Is there a hotel recommendation near the tube, just want a clean hotel, I know London hotels are pricey, it would be nice to find one that's under $200, it that doable.

There are ten stations on that line (Piccadilly) inside the Central line, so not much help. Also, when?

I stay here, unless I'm staying in LSE student accommodation, getting off at Russell Square:

It's not posh, the Arosfa next door is a bit posher and a bit pricier. But it looks like you need to stay four nights. 145 USD/night for a double en suite. If I were splurging I would stay here:

but it's above your budget too.

I use booking.com if I'm not booking directly with the hotel.
