We didn't meet the host but the concierge staff were very welcoming and helpful. The description is spot on and if anything the flat nicer than described and the pictures suggest. High enough to get a really nice view of Somerset House, The Shard, The London Eye, and the National Theatre.

What was extra special was how quiet it is. We stay in London hotels a lot and this was the quietest and nicest place we have ever stayed. It feels like it is sound-proofed as we didn't hear the neighbours once and only the loudest siren could be heard on the Strand down below.

I couldn't recommend this place enough. It was like staying in a suite in a posh London hotel for the fraction of the price at a prime location for the theatres, museums, and tourist attractions. All within walking distance.

A lovely place to be in too, from the nice large TV in front of the lovely comfortable sofa, the excellent oven, microwave in the small but well serviced cooking area, to the amazingly deep bath with TV!
