Richard is a very nice, sympathetic host. He is very careful about his place. We enjoyed his apartment very much.
The spring mattress bed was very comfortable. The apartment is recently refurbished.
Forest Hill is a quiet neighborhood. A big Sainsbury's supermarket is at walking distance.
It does take a while (+/- 45 min.) to get to the center of London (walk to Honor Oak Overground Station + 1 or 2 Underground Trains).
