Before booking my stay in London, I spent hours reading countless reviews for accommodations in the city. I stopped at Casa Chelsea and trusted the 300+ positive reviews for Wills' place. Initially, I was apprehensive about staying in someone else's space as a solo traveler, but I am so glad I trusted previous guests comments; my stay at Wills' place surpassed my original expectations, and I am sure it will do the same for you.
Starting with Wills, he is one of the friendliest souls I have ever encountered. From the first few hours we met, I felt comfortable talking to him about nearly anything. Throughout my entire week-long stay, we had many conversations over coffee/tea and night-time snacks. Wills gave me countless recommendations on things to do, eat, and see, and he did not lead me astray. Furthermore, Wills was the perfect "getting around London" guide. There were numerous times I contacted him, telling him I was lost, and he responded instantly with all possible directions. When you are a guest in his place, he cares, and he shows that he wants you to have an enjoyable stay.
On to Casa Chelsea: the flat is located in a safe, non-touristy part of London. There are many restaurants and shops within walking distance, and it is seconds away from many bus stops that lead you to various neighborhoods in London. The place itself is clean, nicely decorated, and relaxing. My favorite part of the stay was the bedroom setup and the cute wallpaper backdrop behind the bed. My only minor flaw with the place was the lighting in the bedroom when it was time to do my makeup. The issue is easily fixable if you adjust your makeup application toward the window, but I think it is worth noting for my beauty/makeup gurus.
Overall, Wills' place is a true gem. The hospitality, the cleanliness, and the environment all come together as a great value. I'm glad I met Wills; I learned so much from him within my short stay, and I am sure you will, too.
I will definitely return.
