Richard is a great host and a very kind person. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable for a long stay. However there is no cleanliness, cannot stress that enough. The bathroom and kitchen are always in a state of mess. The refrigerator handles have a black deposit on them from not cleaning. It was so gross that I ended up cleaning it myself. The bathroom has products everywhere and so many dirty wet towels hanging that it covers the light switch and you cannot see where it is to turn on the light. The backyard has bag with plastic bottles lying around. I did not have any place else to go and did not want to go through the long process of refund etc, so I just continued to adjust and live there since my stay was for less than two weeks. Would not recommend if you care about cleanliness.
