We didn't get to meet Ruri himself because he had to work. But he was very flexible in organizing the check-in with the help of his roommates who showed us around. The place is a little further from the city centre but OK to get to with bus and tube. It's very convenient for going to Heathrow Airport early in the morning. We liked the loft space under the roof which was not to hot in spite of the hot weather. Lovely experience - thank you!
