We had a great stay at Charlie's apartment. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and special touches such as leaving croissants and orange juice for us as a welcome (especially appreciated as our first morning was New Year's Day!) were really lovely. It's fair to say the flat could probably do with a bit of sprucing up (as others have mentioned), but it is comfortable, cosy and great for transport links. We got the bus right up to the door of the Natural History Museum one day, and it was very convenient for Gatwick airport when we had to leave. We really appreciated Charlie's flexibility with letting the flat out to us for just a couple of nights over NYE - it was a great option for me, my boyfriend and his parents, who had come over from Germany for their first trip to London. So much better than a hotel.
