Richard was not present for the check-in, but a lock box was handy to access the keys. I had convenient street parking for unloading my bags.
The place was clean and ready for me. A nicely stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise.
After settling in and scoping the place out, I couldn't help but wonder how more than 4 adults would manage to live with one small bathroom (with one towel rack and no w/d on site) and only enough seating for 4 or so in the living room. The forth bedroom did not have a door knob and could not be completely closed. Be sure to ask Richard about his before booking as he may have repaired that by the time you need the room. Also, the internet is spotty as one other reviewer mentioned.
The house was very quiet and street noise was minimal. The only noise came from some rather squeaky floor boards but again, this may be fixed before you get to hear them.
Overall a great alternative for staying with a small group that offers all the conveniences of an extended stay hotel. I'll be back!
