Richard has been the best host I've stayed with so far. Made me feel at ease from the moment he messaged me back about the availability. He is tidy, well organised, super chilled, clear and very easy to talk to, is also considerably kind and considerate of everything you would potentially need in the apartment. The Corona lockdown started a week after I arrived, despite the madness outside, has been so kind and helped me feel included and cared for during this pandemic. His two cats are also fantastic and super friendly to have around.
Richard's apartment is lovely and has so much character in every corner. The location was also perfect. Buying food supplies etc is super easy as the house is about a five minute walk from most amenities. Taking busses and the tube is also super easy as they are all about five minutes away as well. The neighbourhood is quiet and quaint so you're away from the hustle of the city. Its been the perfect refuge during these crazy times. (I imagine would be the same in any other time as well)
