There cannot possibly be a more responsive, more patient and supportive host than Richard. He is always accessible, available for help and advice. This is huge, as hosts are often anonymous and out of touch. About the flat: its kitchen is well equipped. It has loads of storage space. It has mirrors in every room - you'll be looking your best to go out on the town! It's very secure, both for its built-in internal security and because the street and neighborhood are among London's safest. Your expansive front windows have a view of the street and its activity (and what people are wearing -- is it raining?), but from the big window in the quiet rear bedroom you'll enjoy a garden view. There's a lot of light when you want it and darkness when you don't -- curtains perfectly block or admit the light - your choice. Thanks to its perfect location and the many transportation choices, access to everywhere in London is easy. This place is a little gem.
