Ron is truly an excellent host. We were very impressed by the high standard of professionalism and hospitality he extended to us during our stay. We arrived to find brochures, maps, oyster cards ready for top up so we could travel on the Underground straight away, an info sheet outlining local restaurants, pubs, emergency contacts, and AV instructions. He even provided an old mobile phone with a prepaid card available for top up so we had a local phone number during our stay.

Nothing was too much trouble for Ron. We stayed at the flat with our two young children aged 2 and 4, and Ron purchased and installed a child gate for so we could secure the stairwell upstairs. We also loved the projector and Ron’s treasure trove of movies and TV series – just perfect for staying in on a rainy London night while the kids slept upstairs.

The location was fantastic, with all the shops you need (newsagent, mini supermarket, deli, café etc) on your doorstep. There are also some fantastic pubs within a few minutes walk, and the tube is just five minutes walk away. The flat is in a quiet residential area, but still just a short distance by tube to nearby action.

The kitchen is well fitted out too, with good quality pots and pans, a decent stove and dishwasher.

My only criticism, and it is very minor, is that the main bedroom is quite dark and the lighting comes from floor and table lamps rather than built in lighting.

All in all, this was a great place for us to stay in London. Thanks very much Ron!
