James is an amazing host and has been very helpful since the first day I moved in (he helped me moving in with my 10 pieces of suitcases, heavy ones!). Also, the location couldn’t be more perfect as it is literally a 3 minute walk from Clapham Common train station and there is a Sainsbury right in front of it (easy when carrying heavy bags). The area is very lively and safe, with tons of restaurants, pubs and bars. Last but not least, I shared the place with a lovely cat called Smokey. I have to admit that although I love animals, I have never been a cat person, after spending these months with her my whole idea about them has changed. She is just beyond adorable (not grumpy as the majority of cats). I literally teared up when I had to say bye to her :(. To sum up, I was planning on staying 2 months and ended up staying 4 :)
