I truly don't have the words to fully describe how amazing my stay at Mandy's flat was. First, the level of thought and care she puts into making you feel welcomed upon your first step into the flat is incredible. I was up for 27 hours by the time I got there and I almost cried when I saw that I wouldn't have to go to the store immediately for essentials because she had fresh fruit, bread, tea, even delicious sweets for me along with beverages cool in the fridge. I was here a total of 4 weeks and I always felt safe in the neighborhood, there were so many conveniences within half a mile's walk or less (pharmacy, off license, grocery, take away). I had already researched ahead of time travel distance from the listed location to the areas I planned to visit - something I recommend ALL travelers do before embarking on any destination. So even though it was a little bit outside of central london - my total travel time to most places for sightseeing and meeting up with friends was usually about 60 -75 minutes on public transport. I also recommend getting an Oyster travel pass for zones 1-5 if you plan to be there longer than a week as it saves money vs pay as you go. Honestly everything was lovely, sparkling clean, and comfortable. She did a mid stay clean where I got a refresh on linens and everything. I had a wonderful place to spend a month in London, a place I could rest and relax comfortably when K fell a little under the weather at one point, and a place that I felt safe at as a solo female traveler. I cannot say enough good things about my stay.
