Address on UK Landing Card

Address on UK Landing Card - Brown Concrete Castle

In a situation wherein a visitor to the UK, with a valid visa, is staying with a friend, who happens not to be a/the sponsor of the visitor in a self-catered holiday rental apartment, how would the visitor be able to prove that he/she would be staying at this particular place, especially if the friend had booked the accommodation?

As far as most receipts go, only the name of the person who booked it shows up, more so when it is done through a booking site. Should the visitor carry any letter from this friend (who, let's say, is a non-native and holds the same passport as the visitor) but is on say a Tx visa in the UK?
