We LOVED staying at David's place. David was very communicative before we arrived and arranged for his friend to meet us when we arrived since he and Ida were at work mid-day. The check-in was a snap and within minutes we were settled and out exploring London. The apartment is stylishly decorated, well laid out, and appointed with everything we needed. David and Ida also included a lot of nice touches: coffee and tea, a small jug of milk in the fridge, chocolates, and wine. The bed was the most comfortable one we slept in during our two-week stay in Europe. We did meet David briefly and he provided some helpful suggestions for the neighborhood and then we communicated via text message about our check out. Even though their house was right next door it felt very private and the right amount of contact. And finally, this is the absolute best location to stay in London. It is literally right around the corner from the Borough Market, a 2-minute walk, where there are amazing food and restaurants. The London Bridge underground stop is adjacent to the market, so transportation is a snap, and many sites are in walking distance of the apartment including the Globe Theater, Tate Modern and the Shard. This is my favorite Air BNB that I have ever rented. I'm already dreaming about when I can come back.
