Simon was welcoming and communication was great and prompt throughout out stay. I gave this airbnb 5 stars predominantly because of its location; Elephant and Castle is really well connected to central London and you see the beautiful Shard as soon as you walk out of the apartment. The apartment was well equipped, especially the kitchen. The airbnb has 3 other rooms, so a person's experience of their stay may vary depending on who else is present in the apartment; as a young couple, we didn't mind the level of noise caused by those staying in the rooms next door, but may be worth keeping in mind. Overall, Simon was a really great host and we recommend this room for a weekend in London!
