Highly recommend Omar's place for anyone visiting London!
It is extremely close to Borough market, an extremely popular spot for all the delicious food bites (see Netflix special: Somebody Feed Phil for his recommendations), which also means its super close to the London Bridge train stop, which is a hub for a lot of the trains through London.
Check-in was fairly easy, as Omar is AMAZING with fast communication. I would recommend picking up the key first (around the corner at a shop), that way you don't have to bother reception with watching your bags since it isn't a hotel and not part of their policy. Elevators make it easy for anyone with luggage (I had two large suitcases and a carry-on), and since he is on the first floor you can also easily access the stairs when popping out for the day. I must say, as a female solo-traveler, this place is MUST, with 24 hour security and key fab required to enter the building, plus the close proximity to the London & Borough train stations was a huge relief for me (and my parents back home). I also loved this place because it was nice and quiet at night, since I like to relax before an semi-early bedtime (10pm), with the windows open. Blackout curtains also make it easy to sleep in, if that's your vibe.
The room itself was much like an extended-stay property at a hotel, with all the amenities one could need: stove, fridge/freezer, iron, W/D, very large bathroom and a wardrobe for storage. He had extra towels and bedding available in dresser in the living room, which was very nice. There was even a plug adaptor, which I didn't realize until after I bought one! Luckily I needed more than 1 for my computer, phone & camera, but a great thing to have if someone arrives without one.
The only 2 things I would say to be aware of (and shouldn't deter you from booking this spot) are: 1. no air conditioning, which usually isn't necessary in London, but if you are an American like me and used to sleeping in artic temperatures you may want to pop out to a store and buy a fan for a few days (I returned it the day before I left); 2. the television is like your basic hotel TV, so if you plan to watch any streaming shows you will need to watch them on your computer/phone. London is best to be explored so if you want to stay inside and watch TV all day, may want to find a cheaper place further outside the city.
Again, I cannot say enough great things about Omar and his place!! Omar is STELLAR at communication, super fast to respond to any questions or inquiries; the remote needed batteries and they arrived within the HOUR from a delivery person, and he also sent along dishwasher pods so I could wash my dishes! Even after I left, Omar sent me recommendations for my trip to Paris, clearly showing he always goes above and beyond.
If you need a place to stay on your first, second or third stay in London, don't hesitate to book Omar's spot - it's perfect for all types of travelers!
