From the word go, James was a brilliant host in every way. He responded to all emails and texts immediately so we felt looked after long before we even arrived. I had various questions and he was always friendly and thorough in his responses. His apartment is indeed very cool and has loads of character. There was a big bowl of fruit laid out for us which we tucked into, the beds were all made up (and SO cosy) and everything was very tidy and inviting. There are lots of DVDs available to watch (on a nice big screen), plenty of books to browse through, and the apartment is simply fun and interesting to be in. Unfortunately for us, London was very wet and blustery that weekend, so we'd love to experience staying in the apartment in the summer - it would just be the perfect place. There were five of us staying (3 adults and 2 children) and we enjoyed a cosy evening watching a DVD, followed by a peaceful night (despite the mad weather!). It was lovely and I would definitely recommend it - enjoy!
