I had a wonderful stay at Gil's place! The view really is stunning. Everything was true to the photos; it was nice to have storage space and a built-in desk in the room! Very easy to find, check in was a breeze. Bus stop basically right outside the door and the Bermondsey tube stop was a quick 3-5min walk away.
Gil was very responsive and a pleasure to interact with.
Only downside: being so central and near the train stations-- it was quite noisy at night. I wore earplugs every night to make it manageable but if the window is open for air you will still hear the trains through them. A trade off, but something to be aware of.
