Bryan is a great host. He will always more than willing to help you if you need. All the good things others commented are exactly what I have experienced: convenient if you are going to or from Heathrow, a super tidy and clean house, quiet and friendly neighborhoods, etc etc.
I had been lucky that Bryan was available when I was leaving, he showed me around the his allotment and the town before sending me to the station.
Anyway, you will never regret if you choose to stay at Bryan's room for long or short stay. Try and experienced it.
