Coming from an amber country during the Covid-era, Jo's flat was particularly well suited for my quarantine, with plenty of room to relax and an alleyway in which to exercise. Jo was also able to stock the fridge with items that I would need upon my arrival.
The flat had many interesting features, with artwork and boho furnishings creating a very artist-flat vibe. This was perfect for my venture, as I was in London to do some recording, but might not be for everybody. The bedding, bath, and kitchen were all clean and comfortable. One point of note: there is a tricky staircase to the upstairs portion of the flat so travelers with young children should be aware.
The flat is located in an interesting, diverse neighborhood that is populated by numerous coffee shops and other independent restaurants. It is a bit removed from the typical tourist destinations should you choose to walk. Since I wanted to avoid public transport, my solution was a 20-minute walk to a city bike location, where you can rent a bike cheaply to take you to all points of London. Rides into Hyde Park are particularly fun. Like all big cities, the area appears to have some homelessness issues.
Jo is a great host. Very attentive to guests' needs and understanding of all the numerous pandemic-travel hoops that I was required to jump through. She was also very flexible when my schedule was changed. Finally, the flat is a fantastic value for London lodging.
