Simon and Katie's flat is an ideal place to stay for exploring central London. The place itself is very charming, cozy, clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. After nearly 2 weeks of staying in hotels throughout Europe, it was such a relief to arrive at their flat where all of the comforts of home were to be had. It's really all in the details - superb bath products, quality beds for a restful sleep, lovely books to peruse, oyster cards and a mobile avail if needed... not to mention the kitchen! It was stocked with basics such as milk, cereal, water as well as a bottle of sparkling wine and sweets. How truly thoughtful! Additionally, Simon is readily available should you need anything or have any questions. He is reliable and quick to respond. Simon is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to recommendations. We went to The Albion (around the corner) and Sunday cafe - both fantastic! I wish we had more time to explore the neighbourhood (Islington, Angel) as it is less touristy and I would say that you get a feel for what daily life as a local is like here. I highly recommend this flat (there was three of us and it was still very spacious) and I would consider it again for future visits to London. Thank you for making my first experience on airbnb a success!
