Rich's place is wonderful. True, it is a working household, which means you might hear the occasional conversation between parent and child or siblings, but it was never intrusive and they are upfront about being in the house. The cats were a welcome addition for us, as we have two cats ourselves and miss them when we go away. Now to the things that might really be important to your stay! They are in zone 2 of the tube, which is great for connecting to things in London! Down the road from the house are several quaint restaurants that you can hop into for a good meal. The best part was the Sainsbury market on the corner where we popped in every morning for a fresh bakery bite and a drink to take with us on our journey. The house is clean, and the rooms dedicated to guests are private enough and very comfortable. They even have loads of tour books and guides to browse through! If you are lucky enough, on the way home from your gallivanting day you will run into the most cheerful tube worker ever at the Brookley station! Seriously that guy was awesome! Would totally recommend Rich's place to our friends and family and would go back for another stay!
