I stayed in Samir's house for eight nights in September and experienced a very pleasant stay. Both Samir and Geethika were very welcoming and hospitable, even inviting me to a tasty Indian curry! I was also able to watch World Cup Rugby on their large TV.

As Samir had explained, there was building work ongoing but it did not affect me at all and the builders did a good job cleaning up before they left each evening.

The neighbourhood is quiet and the room though small as advertised was quite comfortable. Although there are bus stops outside, I mostly walked to and fro Newbury Park Station, about a 12 minute walk, as the weather was beautiful during my visit.

I plan to stay with Samir again on a future visit and would recommend Samir's house as a good place to stay and great value for money.
