We had a wonderful stay at Matt’s for our first time in London; clean space, bathroom full of amenities and a wonderful host. Matt was always available with questions and provided us with an abundance of restaurant suggestions and things to do. The tube station is only a 5-7 minute walk away, and the area is very safe. We took the tube all over London which could take anywhere from 10-45 minutes depending on the location. I would highly advise leaving VERY early if you have a flight or train scheduled out of the city during rush hour. We missed our 830 am train to Amsterdam because we didn’t leave early enough.
Also, on Matt’s suggestion, we had Needoo’s for our first meal in the city. If you like Indian food, go here! It’s some of the best I’ve ever had (and this is coming from a girl who grew up on curry).
