We are a couple, went to London to see the city and stayed at Darren's place for a few days. Everything about the trip and stay went really smoothly. We self-checked in, as Darren was not home, and the place was really easy to find and get in.
It's situated in lovely neighboorhod with lots of caffes, restaurants and small local businesses, bit away from tube lines, but that's what keeps it like that and away from big crowds and noise which we really appreciated at the evenings when we came back from a day of sight-seeing and could relax in our neighboorhood.
Communication with central part of the city is pretty hassle-free via buses which are plenty of, and also tube stations are really not that far away if you need them.
Darren has a guidebook on his listing which was extremely helpful, we mainly went to those places for the whole trip because we could trust Darren's taste.
Apartment is really cosy and homey, everything was extremely clean which is something my girlfriend is always aware of.
Darren is a great guy, very quick to respond for everything you could need or some info, but also not intrusive. For most days he was at work and we were out in town, but we were very happy to hang out with him one evening and we got to know each other better. He is smart, open-minded and extremely kind person.
These few days felt like a home away from home and we would definitely recommend Darren and his apartment for a trip like this.
