Alex’s house is very well placed in a lovely terraced street in Kennington only a short and easy walk from the Oval tube station. It was well placed for local shops and good places to eat. Public transport links were great but we also enjoyed exploring the area on foot, and walked from the house over the river to the Tate and beyond without any difficulty.

The house comfortably accommodated the 5 of us and was just as described; with 3 bedrooms, a sunny kitchen for lazy breakfasts, a wonderful living room full of books and artwork and plants, a green and sunny balcony and both a large bathroom and separate shower-room.

The home is full of character and curios gathered from travels, which fascinated and charmed us in equal measure! We felt lucky to have been able to spend our time in London here and appreciative of the attention given to ensuring our stay was easy and as comfortable as possible. This is one of the most homely and welcoming houses I’ve been lucky enough to find through Airbnb and Alex was a very kind and generous host. We’d happily recommend the house to other travellers looking for something a little bit special.
