Ricardo is a warm and welcoming host and I can highly recommend his place.
Communication was smooth.
The nicely restored house from the 17th century is situated on the river walk, a stone’s throw away from Hammersmith underground and bus station ( about 5 min. on foot)
The room was big, comfortable and quiet (if you can live with a few creaky floorboards in the house - which comes as no surprise, given the age of the building:)
The bed is big and very comfortable. If you are in two minds about a basement room with no outside window - it might just be a problem when planning to spend a lot of time there during the day. Otherwise it is a great place for a good night’s sleep. The small window in the room looks onto the staircase.
The tiny bathroom has a very good shower.
The staircase leading to the room is inside the house and you reach it through the garden via the back door of the house, so the next door pub is not really a problem; they just use the same alleyway for their private backdoor.
There is a decent breakfast place two minutes away ( Cafe Plum on Crisp Road).
Enjoy your stay.
