We chose Matthew's place because of the close proximity to our recently-migrated son and daughter-in-law. Alister and I stayed here at the start of our journey and at the end. Whilst Matthew was not present at the start of our trip, his online generosity with assistance and attention to detail to get me to and from the residence, as well as his completely overwhelming knowledge of public transport was amazing. Maria, his 'stand in' for when he wasn't available, was lovely too. He was a generous host and the room was lovely, quiet, private and very close to all ameneties - shops, station, public transport. The serenity of his garden reflected his love for the environment and his local area.
