We enjoyed staying in Battersea. This flat was close to the buses and there are good pubs and cafes around. It’s safe for walking at night. The view from the 9th floor location was brilliant. Semin was always available to answer questions and even helped me figure out some of the travel logistics in getting to his place. The flat itself needs some fixes, like some floor boards lifting up from the ground and there was a water leak that developed on our last day from some work going on in the building, which itself is older and seemed to be undergoing some construction work while we were there. While the flat was clean, it had some personal items left out like toiletries and pantry items on counters, which made it feel like we were staying at someone’s lived in space and not a rental. We didn’t spend much time there since we were out exploring a lot, so it worked for us.
