My stay at Shane's place was very good. Shane is a very nice host: a very relaxed person and very accommodating in terms of meeting requests and responding to questions. He was extremely helpful with my booking: actually helped me out big time by accepting my reservation at a relatively short notice. He was not there in person when I arrived, but arranged for his lovely flatmate to meet me and then messaged me himself to make sure everything was alright. I asked him for a few small things that I needed for my stay and he took care of them, no problem, which was great. A very pleasant, responsive and helpful host, very easy to interact with.
The room was just as shown in the photos, very light and airy, with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was brand new and very nicely refurbished. Excellent experience there.
Also, great neighbourhood. I knew that before, but was pleasantly surprised to discover a few new places (little cafes etc) that had opened in the area where you can enjoy a morning coffee or lunch reading a book or doing something on your computer. And, importantly, Shane's house is truly(!) very close to the tube, which can be a rare thing in London. The street is very quiet, you can hear birds singing outside your window - magnificent.
Thanks a lot, Shane!
