Staying at Anna’s apartment was fabulous. The flat is in a great location, close to all amenities and good transport links whilst just off the main road allowing for a quiet hideaway. The apartment was clean and tidy, the room was comfortable with plenty of storage space, desk and Wi-Fi. Walking around the area was also lovely, I felt safe and I enjoyed the bits of greenery, beautiful surrounding streets as well as nearby trendy shops, cafes etc. I came for a week to exhibit at the Business Design Centre, which from Anna’s place was super easy and quick to get to on a bus (about 10 mins) as well as by walking (within 25 mins) with various choices of nice routes, perfect for exploring the area.
Anna is a warm, welcoming host who made me feel comfortable and at ease. Anna gave me useful tips and advice for getting around and she was happy to share her time and have a chat with me when we briefly met in the apartment. Equally I felt no obligation to talk to her should I have chosen not to. The balance has been just right with Anna’s place quickly becoming a home I was looking forward to retreating at after a long day out. I would definitely stay here again when back in London.
