I stayed over Kevin's place for a couple of weeks. His home is located in a very quite neighborhood, but on the other hand the closes station (west Sutton) is far away from central London (more than 1 hour by train). There is also a regular bus to Wimbledon stopping over, but this journey takes even more time. The house in itself is nice, but there are no shops in the surroundings. About my stay, I think that the ideal guest profile for this place is a professional who needs a room for a short period of time. I'm sure that Kevin would agree with me. My impression is that this host values his privacy greatly, and you should be ready to respect that. Anyway, he's a good person and has been mostly kind to me, so I've nothing to complain about.
