I never met him during the stay, but Simon is a super responsive and helpful host- very patient with my many questions. The apartment is just as described and very convenient - I walked almost everywhere while I stayed there! The Neighbourhood is safe and convenient and the estate is adequately gated. The only things to note are that the apartment is just as shown, but split up by four flights of stairs which maybe inconvenient for some; the shower is also hot but takes a Long time to warm up which is slightly uncomfortable in the winter. Other than that, it was perfect and couldn't ask for a better host
