I highly recommend Ray's place! He made me feel right at home. He is a live-in host and very enjoyable to chat with and share a snack. I stayed longer than his typical guest, a week, as part of a bigger visit to London. He is right across the street from the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral where I was spending time. I was very comfortable in my room and able to work remotely there with reliable Wifi. I had a shelf in his fridge where I could bring a few groceries. I cooked one night and was encouraged to use some of his spices. Nice bathroom with hot water and a shelf to put my things. Thanks Ray!
