Richard's place is really marvellous, a peaceful place with a lot of space and internet REALLY working (important for me) as really peaceful neighbours. We didn't hear any noise (and I am quite sensitive to it) during our 3 nights stay. The garden is a great addition. The only issue we had is a smell of moisture but London is a quite wet place, and after opening the windows for about 30 minutes it was really less strong. I strongly recommend the place.
