I am not sure what exactly I was expecting before I went to Ewan's place, but suffice it to say that once I got there and stayed there, it went above and beyond whatever expectations I had, and then some more. Located in a quiet suburb in London, it was the ideal place for me to stay and get some hours in as I prepped for an exam. The room was lovely and had an even lovelier view that was amazing at any time of the day. Ewan made his place seem like home away from home and for that I am extremely grateful, especially with the use of the kitchen. As for the locale itself, it's quiet, there's a couple pubs nearby, a train station (Nunhead) which is a brisk 15 min walk from the apartment, as well as a nearby bus-stop (343, 484, etc) a 4 min away, and the nearby "town" north of the park (Nunhead) that has many local stores as well as supermarkets. All of this information, by the way, is supplied by Ewan both verbally as well as in a welcome packet that he has prepared for his guests. If you're looking to be a tourist in Central London (which is about 45-60 mins away depending on which site you're looking to visit) and want to return to a quieter, very green version of London, Ewan's place is where you want to be!
