I had a very nice stay with Richard. A very comfy room and an easy walk to the theatre.

Really close to the theatre and nice little flat! Was perfect for just the one night and reasonably priced

The location and cleanliness are outstanding. The problem is that the flat is tiny and the host often had his TV on loudly and always kept his bedroom door ajar which is right opposite. He also brought back his partner unannounced one evening around 1am and they were talking loudly and clattering while I was trying to sleep which made me uncomfortable. No food allowed in the bedroom and he didn’t seem keen to make small talk. Sure he is a nice guy but this wasn’t my jam. Sad as location is fab.

My stay with Richard was lovely - the bed was super comfy, the bathroom was always clean, the flat was cool and his cat was super cute.
Richard was also super helpful when I left one of my belongings behind, letting someone pick it up for me!

Thank you Richard for a friendly and comfortable stay! A close walk to the theatre with plenty of shops around for convenience, and the most comfortable room for a good night’s sleep.

Richard's house is nice and cosy, super tidy and in pristine condition, the bed is comfortable and the location was great. Richard was nice and quiet so the house felt calm and I felt like I had privacy. Thank you!

Lovely clean flat and great location. However, the host was not very friendly and I did not feel welcome in shared spaces. This might be due to shyness. This was made up for by proximity to theatres.
15th Apr 2024
I had a good stay.
Richard isn't as welcoming/ friendly as other hosts. But the flat is nice, although very close quarters. Very clean and an easy walk to the theatre.
28th Mar 2024
Nice clean, well looked after apartment. Perfect location! Would stay again 😊
29th Jan 2024
Clean and comfy digs with good communication from Richard. Great location! A co-op round the corner and a 10min walk to the theatre with all the amenities. Thanks again!
15th Jan 2024
Overall a pleasant place to stay with good transport links and can easily walk to the Leeds Carriageworks and Playhouse.
8th Jan 2024
Lovely digs, clean, warm and less than 10 mins from the theatre! What could be better?
13th Nov 2023
Nice and close location - flat was very clean and tidy but is quite cramped and very close living quarters! The lift was out of service which wasn't ideal for top floor flat - luckily Richard helped with suitcase otherwise not sure how I'd have managed. The flush in toilet kept breaking which made it a bit awkward and uncomfortable every time I needed to go to the loo! There isn't a lock on bedroom door and ideally this is something I prefer when staying digs to make me feel a bit more at ease.

Perfect location for town and the playhouse had no problem with anything. Thanks Richard
5th Oct 2023
Richard’s place is great, clean, super close to the venue, he was always there if I needed anything.
17th Sep 2023
This is a perfect location, eight minutes’ walk from the theatre. A lovely, characterful flat with great views over the city centre and railway bridge. Thank you!

Richard was a fantastic host. Nothing too much trouble, clean and well maintained. Communication was fantastic, even forgot my laptop once and Richard was so kind to let me know if it was left in my room). The location was ideal! Highly recommend!
