Rich's place is very clean and nice. there is a bus stop just outside of the building, #8 bus goes to the city and Brick Lane (very trendy place in the east London). It is also easy to take the underground, can just walk about 15 mins or just take the bus, there are few lines to the different parts of London, one line goes to Notting Hill or London Bridge... Rich is very friendly and warm, he carried my heavy luggage to the upstairs, he made me feel like home. I will stay again if I come to visit London in the future!
