What a transformation! I have stayed at Charlie's flat several times before when it was a cosy but shabby old two-bedroom London flat, and loved it. Now he's refurbished it, it's a uniquely-designed open plan studio with an open working fireplace, heated hardwood parquet flooring, marble kitchen and bathrooms and 24hr entry via a keypad system.

It's a unique place. He's done it beautifully and it's clearly built to last. With natural materials, stone, wood, leather and the newly-exposed original brick fireplaces, the apartment has a feel to it which I have never experienced before. It's like a combination of a five star hotel room and someone's own lovingly planned home. I'm so glad I booked my stays up in advance as he's sure to get booked out very soon.

It's the same incredibly comfortable bed with memory-foam mattress as before, but the flat is quieter now, thanks to the bedroom being at the back and the new double glazing. I have had guests round to visit for a drink and it's perfect for entertaining.

The convenience to a major train station and several busses running outside the doorstep make this an extremely convenient location for discovering London and having easy access to Gatwick airport. I stay with Charlie a few weeks every year while conducting business around Europe, and as a woman I feel 100% safe staying here

On top of all the above outstanding factors in considering Charlie's place as a home away from home, you also have some great restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores right outside your apartment. I want for nothing when I stay here

I love that I can now check in at any time without worrying about someone waiting to meet me. Thanks Charlie, awesome job, I'll see you again next week!
