We are two friends who spent a week at Jo's place with our teenage sons. The apartment is in a working class building and neighborhood steps away from the Tube, Borough Market and many restaurants, banks, and pubs. We rarely saw other tenants and felt safe walking around.
The space is very clean and well appointed. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. We had plenty of very comfortable sleeping space. The sitting area is small with one 2-seat couch and a TV and a table and chairs for four. There is a modern bathroom with a sink and Bath/shower (no toilet) and even a towel warmer! The only (minor) drawback was the toilet set-up. The toilet is in a separate tiny room/closet with a very small sink. Although it was helpful to have a separate toilet, the space presents a challenge, especially for anyone tall! (We heard whispers of another bathroom being added in the future.) That said...the flat served as a good home base for our busy trip.
Jo was an excellent host who, from the moment of booking, was in communication about or needs and interests. She responded to a small maintenance issue quickly. Check in and check out were simple and Jo was flexible with times when possible. Her binder of information on the apartment, the neighborhood and around London was amazing and very helpful. In addition, we really enjoyed chatting with her about our plans.
We would stay here again and recommend this place to others.
