Don’t give it a second thought. Book Matthew’s place if you want a hub to experience London from while feeling at home.
Hannah and I stayed at Matt’s place for seven nights. It was a perfect way to experience London authentically. Although it is supposedly not in the safest borough, we never felt unsafe during our stay. All the locks and entrances felt secure. We didn’t run into many suspicious figures while walking around in the surrounding area.
We have stayed in three AirBnBs so far. Matt is the most caring and attentive host we’ve had by far. Everything was set up perfectly for us when we arrived. Everything was clean, all the listed amenities were provided, and the check in and check out processes were very smooth. We didn’t encounter any problems with any appliances or anything else. Overall, the place is 100% accurate to the listed description.
Matt’s place is the perfect location to discover London from. There are many bus lines that service the nearby bus stops that can take you seemingly anywhere in London (often with a connection or two to another bus or the metro). We highly recommend taking the buses if you are not a London local. Buses are cheaper than the tube and you end up with DIY tours.
