John's place is absolutely splendid. He and his partner are very accommodating and allowed me to drop off my luggage before check in. They answered all of my questions about the living situation and about some logistics of London/Transportation. They allowed me to come and go as I pleased and even offered sandwiches and drinks. I could literally see the Underground station from the window of the room and is about a 2 minute walk. The Underground makes London very accessible and you can reach most major attractions within 1 transfer. It does take about 25-30 minutes to get to the city, but it was well worth it. The home has direct access to Heathrow Airport in an hour and a half. Wifi was dependable and there is a small grocery store near the Underground station as well, should you need to buy anything. It was well worth the travel time to be relatively close to the city, but with a suburban atmosphere. I would definitely recommend John and his partner's home to those wishing to stay in London.
