We had a very pleasant stay at Richard's place. The flat and room were both very clean and the comfortable. Although the flat was quite close to the main road, our street was quite peaceful, also during evenings.
The location was ideal for taking public transport (bus & overground), being just a few minutes from the train and bus station.
It was also in walking distance of a big supermarket and plenty of nice local places to eat and shop. We would definitely recommend you stay with Richard.
