I made my recent return trip to London with the intention of staying in the Clapham/Wandsworth area. Due to the spontaneity of my job, I usually have to leave things to the last minute. There were very few stays left that were within a reasonable price range, a good location and some comfort/safety. Fortunately, Charlotte’s place provides all of the above and then some.
This third storied flat is conveniently and safely located at the top of Wandsworth Common. In addition to the quick trip to the transports that can take you to anywhere in Greater and Central London within minutes, it also provides a great central location to the many of the wonderful shops, restaurants and bars offered in the area within walking distance in.
The flat itself is what the listing describes, light & airy. It’s also very homely without that isolating feeling of a hotel. My room was nicely spacious with a very comfortable double bed that will just eat you alive. Very clean bathroom.
As for the host, Charlotte was more than accommodating and is probably one of the best hosts one could meet. Within minutes, I felt like she was someone I had known for a long time. She was very communicative and friendly on all level. Her overall attitude: “Mi casa es tu casa..” but don’t take advantage of it or take it for granted. For me, this and the close locale of the flat allowed me to spend my time more like a local than a tourist.
I could go on but I’ll stop there. I very much recommend Charlotte’s stay for anyone who’s looking to get the most out of their stay in London without having to break the bank and have a home away from home.
