We stayed in Richard’s spare room for six days and five nights. The location is excellent. Richard is a very responsive and amenable host - he even invited us for coffee (we regret that we were too booked up with sightseeing to take him up on the offer).
The room is cozy, but there is plenty of storage for clothes and suitcases. It has its own entrance and lock and is secure.
The shower is shared and is in Richard’s flat. It is accessed through a common hallway.
All in all Richard’s place is a good value in a great neighborhood. I recommend it for anyone traveling alone or couples.
