James had been extremely accommodating even before I booked as my plans were quite tentative at the time.
I'm from Trinidad but studied in Birmingham for a year therefore I had not been very familiar with London. My family and I stayed at James' in order to attend my graduation at the London Guildhall. It was me, my mom and 92 year old grandmother.
His flat is simple and similar to the photos, therefore not misleading at all. It was also very comfortable and we felt at home very quickly. We were delighted to find that the flat was outfitted with all of the basic things that we needed. It was clean and easy to keep clean as well. There are take away restaurants, dining restaurants, pubs and a Co-op very close by (within 5 mins walk or less). We did not have the opportunity to explore since our stay was quite short and our schedule quite hectic but I could tell that the area had a lot to offer.
If I had to say anything negative about the experience it would be the loud students late at night outside on the weekend as there are university hubs nearby. Of course this was no fault of James' and would only be a concern if you're a light sleeper.
All in all, we were pleased with our experience and I would stay here again. Thank you James! (:
