Robin was an excellent host. His communication with us was wonderful. Not only did he reply quickly, but he created a solid cheat sheet of information for anyone that was going to stay in London (Its a well organized document on his MAC). Robin cared about our stay and made himself available at all times, accommodating everything we needed. He even let us store our luggage for most of our last day in London. As far as hosts go, Robin is top flight and I would stay in any of his flats knowing he would be there in a pinch to fix or help with a problem. Its nice when a host cares about your experience. Thanks Robin!!
The flat was a very pleasant surprise. It is spacious with everything a couple might need. The bedroom was large with a comfortable bed. The living room was larger, with a great couch and dining table. Robin has a TV and MAC that you can use as well. The MAC came in very handy and had the easily accessible 'Things to know about your stay' document. The kitchen was comfortable and had all the basics to make your own meals, which we did on a number of occasions. We had an oven, gas stove top, large sink, and an ample refrigerator to go with cooking and eating equipment.
Robin's art adorns the walls of the flat, as well as throughout the stairwell. They are wonderfully unique pieces that show a vast array of emotions that bring life to the spaces. We loved it.
As for location, it was very convenient. We were a couple blocks from a main, central Underground station. Buses were everywhere, too. We had no problem getting around London from our location. Robin provides you with Oyster cards, which are the loadable electronic cards that store tickets to ride trains, the Underground or the bus system throughout the London zones. Just add some money and you are traveling. Robin's place also had a cool little market just around the corner. They had most everything, including a wide assortment of fruits and vegetables. Really convenient.
All in all, we loved staying at Robin's place. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting London.
