My partner and I stayed at Richard's over 2 days for the All Points East festival. The location of the flat is perfect for it, as it is just a stone's throw away from Victoria Park. The surrounding area feels safe and pleasant. The room itself is comfortable and spotless, with a private bathroom across the hallway which we felt was very clean and spacious. The flat itself is right next to the train tracks, but the bedroom windows are soundproof, so we had a quiet rest in the night.
The flat itself feels homely and well-decorated, with various cultural artefacts showcasing Richard's extensive travels and eclectic tastes. Richard himself was very friendly and communicative from the start, replying to all messages very quickly. He was very respectful of our privacy, and was easy going about our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we were ever back for the All Points East.
