Simon made me very welcome in his home and gave directions for local essentails such as dining spots and shopping. The apartment is very well set out, spaceous, and great facilities ( microwave, washing machine, kettle). I appreciated the Digital radio. Location great - across the road from Kennington tube station.The apartment faces onto a busy road with a hum from traffic (but remember you are in a great location in a major Metropolis, if you want peace go to the country) so light sleepers may want earplugs. I will stay with Simon on my next London visit. Thank you so much Simon.
