I had a truly wonderful stay at Rich’s place and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in London but not wanting to spend a fortune on a hotel in the city centre. The location is perfect, literally minutes from Brockley station which can bring you quickly and easily into the city centre with a couple of different options. I’ve stayed in this area before and this was the easiest house to find that I’ve ever been too. The house is lovely but just know that the rooms are at the very top of the house and there are quite a few stairs to climb to get there (this wasn’t a problem for me at all but if stairs are hard for you to navigate you’ve been warned). The bedroom itself is cozy and well lit from a giant skylight above a very comfortable bed. The ensuite is extremely convenient, well stocked and kept clean, exactly as advertised. The bonus office space was excellent—the desk is very wide and I had everything I needed in a mini fridge, microwave, dishes and cutlery (there’s no need to go downstairs for anything really). I was also given access to a washer and drier which is perfect for anyone staying longer than a week or so.
Rich and Caroline are excellent hosts. They responded almost immediately to any questions I had and allowed me to extend my stay with them with little prior warning. They made check-in and out very easy and Rich even helped carry my suitcase all the way upstairs. They are both so friendly and accommodating, their daughters are absolute gems and the cats are adorable and very social. If you are looking for a bright, clean, comfortable stay either for leisure or business, I would highly suggest booking Rich’s place. Whenever I come again to London in the future, I will be looking them up for sure.
