I had an absolutely delightful stay in Jay and Allan's place. Richmond is one of London's best insider secrets, and the flat is ideally located near the high street but off the beaten track. While it's only a one-minute walk to the Underground station, it's nestled on a beautiful, tranquil street leading into the sweeping village green. I slept blissfully in the cozy little bedroom, which has everything necessary to prepare a continental breakfast. Jay and Allan are extremely interesting, thoughtful people, who gave me complete privacy but were always ready with information and suggestions. The bathroom is immaculately clean and well stocked, the trash bins were emptied daily, and little treats appeared regularly to make me feel thoroughly pampered. I'll cherish the memory of the week that I spent with Jay and Allan, and I recommend their place very highly for solo travelers like me. I hope to be able to take advantage of their hospitality again and to host host them myself, should they travel to San Diego, in my Airbnb "Luxury Private Garden Suite Retreat in Kensington."
