Richard is one the best host's we've ever had. While I never got to meet him in person, Richard and my husband became fast friends. Richard was accommodating, so friendly, and very quick to respond. He made this place truly feel like home to us. The apartment is beautiful, just as stated and in the most lovely neighborhood just a 5-10 min walk to the Tube. we could not have asked for a better stay or host, we will definitely be back!!
