Tristan‘s place is clean and tidy with a great view on Victoria park. It‘s location is amazing and perfect for when you have a short stay in London and spend most of your time in the city.
However, if you are looking for a welcoming “feel at home” atmosphere, this is not the right place for you - in my opinion. Before my arrival, I got a message with a catalogue of rules what I can’t do and can’t touch which made me constantly afraid to do something wrong and touch something I shouldn’t during my stay. I used to live in London and booked an Airbnb with the intent to also have a guest or two over for a chat or a cup of tea. Unfortunately, you need to ask for Tristan’s permission for every guest you want to have - even if it’s just for an hour or two. I assume that Tristan made bad experiences in the past which leads him to create an atmosphere of control and mistrust. I kept all of Tristan’s rules, invited no one, did all the things he asked me to and ended up spending as little time as possible at his place which is unfortunate considering how expensive it is.
