I stayed at Richard's house for two nights, due to work in London.
When I arrived, I was greeted by Maria, who immediately asked if I wanted a cup of tea. I thought it was a very nice gesture and suggested a very welcoming family.
I sat with Victoria and Richard as I had my takeaway and we got along very well. If you're into travelling and photography, I am certain you will get on with Richard!
The shower was lovely though the toilet does not have a sink in the same room thus requires you to go into the bathroom afterwards.
I stayed in the twin room which had a very comfy bed. Richard and Maria had provided coffee, tea and a kettle for the room and a large bottle of water, which saved me from purchasing my own.
The location was brilliant. It requires the Piccadilly line, a three minute bus journey (which is available 24hrs) and a two minute walk to get there. There was a small town five minutes away too, with all the essentials one may require.
The family dogs are also very obedient and loves affection. I had no worries about my shoes being chewed up and they were trained to no go upstairs!
The only drawback I may highlight is that the house does not have an ironing board/iron. Thankfully I had prepared my shirts but this may be something for people to take into account if staying for business.
Overall, Richard, Maria and Victoria welcomed me to their home and it was a very positive experience!
