I stayed at Richard's for 8 nights and wouldn't hesitate to return. It's a great location near the Balham tube and rail station, multiple large supermarkets and shops, and check in was a breeze. The room is spacious, comfortable, and as I often work from home I particularly appreciated the inclusion of a large desk. I also found thoughtful touches like a hairdryer in the room and multi plug with USB chargers. And the shower (dedicated to guest's use) is great - nice and warm and high pressure! Richard was a relaxed and helpful host, and I'd happily recommend staying here.
