Imogen’s place is cozy and clean, and the rooftop terrace offers an incredible view. There is a kitchen with all of the amenities (fridge, stove, microwave, pots, pans, spices, utensils, etc.). Imogen also cleared out the closet so we were able to hang up our clothes; I appreciated not having to live out of a suitcase for 10 days. The flat is located next to the Lewisham train station, which was convenient as we took public transportation nearly everywhere during our stay.
Imogen was prompt with all of her messages and responses, and offered great tips for site-seeing (we ended up taking a day trip to Brighton based on her suggestions). The check-in process was easy as well; Imogen left the key at a convenience store around the corner from the flat, and also allowed us to check-in early. Furthermore, she left us biscuits as a welcome present! Her thoughtful gestures did not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
Lewisham is in the southeast part of London, a bit off the beaten path, which might be a deterrence for some. We found the train system fairly easy to navigate and had no problem exploring the city all day, and actually enjoyed coming back to a low key, quiet neighborhood at night.
We had a wonderful time during our stay in London and would not hesitate to book another stay at Imogen’s flat if it were available.
