Staying at Gerry's place was wonderful. He is a great host: very welcoming, but once you are settled, he just leaves you to get on with things. He's there if you need him.
The room was very comfortable, with some nice touches (flowers and fresh fruit greeted me on arrival.)
The flat is in a great position in a really vibrant area of London: I thoroughly recommend him as a host and I will definitely be back.
The only thing is that as I am a light sleeper, I was a bit disturbed by the young men revving their bikes and chatting under the window until quite late. But, it is London and actually this place is a lot quieter than others I have stayed in. Next time, I will take earplugs and all will be well.
