Out of the three places I stayed at in England, I felt the most comfortable and at home with Simon. He communicated thoroughly my entire trip. Gave me great suggestions on what to do and how to get there and was just the most genuine guy you could possibly hope for!
Shopping and eating food at the weekend markets on Portobello Road was awesome. Walking around in the middle of the night I felt perfectly safe. There is even a community bike rental at the park just next to Simon's building that costs £2.00 to rent for an all day rental, which made touring the city even more fun.
Do yourself a favor and book with Simon! I will most definitely be booking with him again the next time I'm in London!
