Richmond and his house are great. He showed me tremendous hospitality in sharing his home. I was relatively long term (2.5 weeks) stay, and with all the amenities Richmond offered I was quite comfortable. I would definitely recommend this listing.
Richmond's description is accurate, but there are two things worth knowing before you book. Richmond's dog is pretty big and can be loud. He doesn't have free reign over the house, but you will likely interact with him at some point so if you really don't like dogs it may not be a good place. Secondly, the house is very accessible through public transport, but it does take about an hour to get in the city in that manner - some walking, some bus, some subway. So just be prepared for the commute if you don't have a car.
Overall, great value for money and I would recommend without hesitation especially for longer term stays.
