Outstanding hospitality is the word when it comes to Rosario's place. She shows clear experience and preparedness; she stocks the room full of anything you might need, be it batteries, travel maps & guides, cutlery and plates, there's a fan in the room (fan sleepers unite!) and she even bought me food! That, to me, shows that she goes above and beyond for her guests and it's no wonder she's ranked as a Superhost.
Even beyond all the amenities, I was met with a level of trust and kindness upon arriving that even when staying in a completely new city I felt a strong sense of comfort. Fully at ease; I might as well have been at home.
As for the actual room, it's compact but not enough to feel cramped. It's incredibly quiet for the location. You wouldn't think it was right in the middle of a giant city. It can get hot during the summer, but since this room is on the 5th floor I could have the window open without getting swarmed by bugs. The fan helps a lot, too. There is a chair and a deskspace for laptops. The WiFi has both 2.4 and 5 GHz options and it was strong enough for anything I wanted to do, including Skype calls and watching 1080p video. There are plenty of drawers for storage and a closet where you can hang your clothes. And of course, as a bit of a foodie, the private fridge in the room is a godsend!
The location is very central, just south of the Thames. The closest Tube station is connected to two major lines (Victoria and Northern) which meant that I could get almost anywhere with at most a single stop. There are several smaller foodstores only a few minutes' walk from the apartment. For everything you get with this listing, the pricing is a steal. Top notch value, top notch location, top notch room and host. All in all, I had a fantastic time in London and in no small part thanks to Rosario and the room she offers. If I so return in the future I'll be looking to this listing first thing I do. The best host I've stayed at, with my highest recommendations. Thank you, Rosario!
