We had a great stay in Alex’s apartment over Christmas, he was a fantastic host and left a lovely decorated Christmas tree for us which we thought was a really nice touch. As well as great notes on the local area and suggestions for where to eat/drink/shop. The apartment is in such a wonderfully central location in Balham, with shops, restaurants, bars and public transport within a couple minutes walk. We would definitely consider staying here again were we ever to come to south London!
