Samantha was an exceptionally kind, helpful and accommodating host. She let us drop off our bags well before check-in which was a huge help to us. Her flat is located very well, about a 20 minute walk to central London, as well as a 5 minute walk to the nearest tube station. The room was big and comfortable.
A few things to be aware of before booking... the curtains in the bedroom are sheer, so they do let in light from street lamps and sun. Also, the shower screws onto the faucets and cannot be hung anywhere. The bedroom door does not lock, nor does it fully close. Finally, it is advertised as a non smoking apartment, but I think this may only apply to guests, as it did smell of smoke. These things may be normal in the London area however we were not expecting these aspects.
Overall, the apartment is a great value as it is priced well and in a great location, and Samantha is a kind and gracious host. As such we would still recommend staying here.
