We spent one week in Richard's flat. It was a pretty great location for sightseeing in London, right next to a subway stop. Get a subway pass for zones 1-3. The neighborhood is cute, quiet, and fun to walk around. No restaurants nearby, but 1 min walk to a little corner store and 10 min to a big grocery store. Note that it will be difficult to fit your groceries in the tiny fridge. We appreciated how Richard kept everything super clean and had lots of lovely plants. He was a friendly and discreet host. If visiting in summer, ask him for the mosquito plug-in.
