I stayed for 3 weeks at Simon's house. He is quick to respond and very helpful.
He has tried successfully to give the house a vintage touch. The photos do not do justice to the room. The place is self-sufficient. There is a beautiful kitchen with a view upstairs. The room itself has everything - couch, table, TV, comfortable double bed, and loads of shelves. Oh, and the book collection is also good. Books are everywhere in the house.
I would recommend Simon's place to everyone!
