My partner and I stayed with Richard twice during August and he generously looked after our bags in between. We were treated like close friends during both visits with an offer of beer and wine on arrival, recommendations about travelling in the local area and being provided with a day's walk guide to explore the city. Richard also invited us to participate in a dinner party, which we highly enjoyed - I would definitely recommend his Indian cooking including recipes used by his professional chef family members! We were lucky enough to have the full flat to ourselves at no additional cost as Richard stayed at another nearby property. The attic bedroom offered a clean, cool alternative to the summer external heat and we were provided with linen including towels. We decided to make use of our own shower gel etc, but I'm certain that Richard would have been able to provide some if requested. Overall I am eager to stay again and I hope to meet again!
