I stayed for a little over a month, and I have to say it was a great experience.

The host was always available when needed, with the line of communication completely open and clear. He left a few items for me as a welcoming gift, which was appreciated and a nice touch.

The listing, including the photos and description are 100% accurate. There will be no surprises. I found the flat to be clean, well appointed, and fully stocked with everything I needed. The kitchen has everything if you want to cook, and there is also a washer/dryer, and separate drying rack, which came in very handy.

A cleaning lady came a couple times throughout my stay to tidy up. Though, she doesn't have to if you prefer.

The location really can't be beat. The Tube is only about 2 minutes away by foot, which will take you right into central London very quickly. You can actually see your stop from the balcony of the flat. There is a very faint rumble from the incoming/outgoing trains, which is audible in the flat, but it never disturbed me in any way.

The neighborhood is perfect. Nice parks very close by. Plenty of great restaurants, cafes and pubs.

A co-op is just a minute's walk from your front door for grocery needs, as well as a Little Waitrose in the opposite direction. A larger supermarket (Sainsbury's) is half a mile away, or just one stop away on the tube. They also deliver if you want a larger order for longer stays. I did that once, and paid only £3.00.

The River Thames is only a short walk away, which has a nice trail that runs alongside it if you want a little exercise.

I really can't say too many nice things about the experience. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
