We had a lovely time staying in John's apartment. It's a great space with a lot of style, charm and personality. We found it provided us with everything we needed to get the most out of our week in London (except maybe a dishwasher 😂): a friendly neighbourhood with a lot to offer including great local coffee shops, markets and food courts, decent public transport connections, and a wonderful roof terrace.
For prospective visitors it can be good to know that the apartment has a new couch and that the bathroom received a makeover compared to when the photos were taken.
Between the lively neighbourhood and the nearby passing trains, light sleepers might find they need ear plugs. We ourselves got used to the sounds pretty quickly.
In the end, John definitely delivered the proper London experience we were looking for and we are very grateful for that.
