I stayed 5 nights at David's place and was very comfortable. David is friendly, calm and interesting to talk to - a great host all-around! Bedroom is spacious and feels much like a good hotel room with a view of a nearby park, lake, and if you're there in June, both the sunset and sunrise. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. Buses to city center are only one block away. Some good local spots you can walk to are the Safari Lounge for dinner/drinks and the Red Kite Cafe for breakfast. There are also some nearby shops including the Sainsbury's grocery store. I highly recommend staying with David!
