My husband and I had the most relaxing 8 days at the house. Its bright, quiet and on a lovely, peaceful street very close to local cafes, restaurants. It all had a cosy, neighbourhood vibe. Dan is just brilliant, the most responsive, friendly host who wants you to be comfortable and enjoy his house! And enjoy his house, we did. :-)
Interesting house with ambience of art, music, books.

Fantastic artist's home near the top of Richmond Hill
We loved our stay at Dan's home (decorated throughout with his own artwork) - everything you could need is there (fantastic kitchen!), and it sits on a lovely street just blocks from bakery, pubs, market, etc - a few blocks from a stop on the bus line and 10-15 minute walk to major train station for getting into London. Full of character and simply a perfect place for an extended stay. And Dan is super responsive with any questions you may have. Highly recommended.
