I stayed at Richard's place for a month while working remotely, and had a terrific time. It's a comfortable place in a pleasant neighborhood, and just a block-and-a-half away from the restaurants and shops of the main street – meaning it's close enough for a short walk, but just far enough that noise is never an issue. Likewise, Richard himself was helpful, responsive, and an all-around great host. I'd happily recommend his place.
