Gerri and Chris' place is perfect for a single or couple to unwind and relax in comfort. The apartment is self-contained with its own entrance but if you need anything at all Gerri is just a few steps away with local tips or great conversation. Both Gerri and Chris are incredibly warm and have generous spirits. Although my husband and I stayed only three nights, we left feeling we'd known them our whole lives. The apartment is spotlessly clean and has stylish furnishings and a small kitchenette and a washer/dryer (a great amenity after traveling for month!). The water pressure in the shower is fabulous and high-quality soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are all provided.
If you want to go into central London, you will need to make your way to one of several public transport methods, all located within a 20-minute walk (only minute if you want to take the bus) and from there you can get just about anywhere in 30-45 minutes. For comparison, if you are familiar with New York City the proximity of the apartment to central London is similar to staying in Brooklyn or Queens and making your way into lower or midtown Manhattan. I have only ever stayed in the City of London on previous trips but it was a real treat to stay in a regular neighborhood. To be able to walk (5 minutes) to a small grocery or (5 minutes in the opposite direction) to an outstanding fish and chips take-away spot was so convenient, but the absolute highlight was meeting Gerri and Chris. I highly recommend their place and hope to stay again.
