Allan is just the most perfect host I could ever ask for. But before going into how incredibly amazing he is, I would first like to ease your worries about the seemingly far location of this listing. I went out to central London nearly every day during my 4-week stay in Ladywell and it's always been very straightforward and convenient and you'll reach central London in 20 minutes. As you know, the transport system in London is very developed and there are even night buses connecting Central London with Lewisham all night long! So you can throw your unnecessary worries behind.
I instantly felt welcomed and at home the first day I went into Allan's house. The room is like a hotel room, exactly what you can see in the picture, and Allan is such an amazing host who puts attention to every details that he'd make sure everything is ready for use in your room. I was surprised to find even two umbrellas, a sewing kit, iron and an iron board in my room! He also allowed me to use anything I needed in the kitchen (and his kitchen is of a very high standard since he loves cooking and I would consider him an amateur chef).
He is an incredibly helpful host and would try to accommodate you in any way he could. Also he's very warm and friendly, last time I went into the kitchen and happened to run into his dinner party with his friends and he immediately invited me to join! That was such a delightful surprise and he cooked us a 3-course meal of high quality restaurant standard! After the meal he and his musician friends performed opera singing with his grand piano and I was stunned! Apart from that I also thoroughly enjoy every long chat with Allan in the kitchen. He has given me lots of insider tips of London, I've followed them well. Thanks to Allan, I've become half a Londoner now :)
I would highly recommend anyone to stay at Allan's place. This is an incredible value for money and the best of all he is doing Airbnb for fun as he enjoys meeting different people and sincerely cares about his guests. I will definitely go back to Allan's place again should I return to London in the future!
Keep in touch my friend :))
