Richard's place is cozy and convenient. Though it is an old house, it is reminiscent of my parents' one. I especially like the kitchen, spacious and functional. Only 7 mins walk to Metro and all kinds of restaurants which made cooking super easy and accessible. Within 15-30 min walk you can get to the most points of interest, so I did not take any public transportation or call taxi/uber during my stay. Just on premise parking (not street parking) is safe and convenient. We had a special, cozy and warm X'mas at Richard's house. Value for money for a family (you can even sleep on the sofa if you like). The only improvement I may suggest is the bedding, or a new non-sticky pan. Overall, I strongly recommend this place.
