If you are looking for a place to stay in London I would highly recommend Emma’s and and Chris’ home. The main reason is the hosts themselves; they have a way of making London (which can be intimidating) feel very accessible. They are very experienced hosts because they both know how to go about their daily routine but if you need something they get it done for you. They are both kind people who have lived in London for a long time and seen it gone through quite a bit of change. Brief conversations with them helped me appreciate the city more.
The room itself is actually quite private. One does have to go up a couple flights of stairs but they are small flights. That being said if you are on crutches or have problems with stairs just be aware. The room itself is loft style; the roof comes down at an angle which adds a unique architectural element. For the most part it should not present a problem to a person of average height but if you are taller (6 foot or more) it may present a challenge in terms of the bed or the shower.
Long story short stay with Chris and Emma when you are in London—they are great hosts and know the city.
