In a word, Richard was great ... a great host who made us feel welcome from the first minute, when we drove up late after a horrendous rental car experience at the airport. He came down to open the garage door (a nice amenity!), led us up into his kitchen, and eased our fatigue with local beers and fun chatter. The bedroom was very comfortable (only drawback is a little jet noise early am, but we slept well), and the kitchen/living area decorated with evidence of Richard's love of music and culture. The beach and beach walkway is just around the corner. We'd return, for sure.
