We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Clare and Pete, they are such lovely people, friendly, thoughtful, and hospitable. We would definitely come back and stay here, it was so wonderful! In fact, we wish we had stayed here for all of our 10 days in London (instead of spending the first six days of our trip in an Airbnb flat in South Quay that was not very well managed by an absentee owner and an impersonal property management company). This place is on a quiet residential street yet still within easy reach of the excitement of urban London. The area is well served by public transit - 13 minutes walk to Herne Hill train station, 6 minutes to North Dulwich train station, 4 minutes to the bus stop at Beckwith Road. We were able to easily access many places in London on the 37 or P4 buses, with less walking than using the tube. The flat is also walking distance to nearby independent shops and restaurants and a post office (try the Crown and Greyhound pub and Rocca Italian restaurant in Dulwich Village). The neighborhood is picturesque, peaceful, and charming - the perfect space to retreat to after a busy day of sightseeing. The flat itself is airy, cozy, and comfortable, with a private garden and interesting books to browse. With two sofas, a spacious living room and kitchen/dining area, cute bathroom (old-fashioned pulls for the light switches...this home was built in 1901) and separate bedroom with comfortable bed, we felt it was a good value for the money. The windows in the flat slide open and provide good ventilation, the hot water and water pressure in the shower was good (though occasionally it seems the temperature might dip depending on whether water is being used upstairs, but that is to be expected in an older home and overall was not an issue), and there was a nice selection of pots and pans and eating utensils and plenty of counter space for meal prep. Long-staying guests might have an issue with lack of a clothes closet in the bedroom (instead, there are ample hooks on the back of the door and hangers) and the fact that wood floors in an older home will creak sometimes, but these things were minor compared to how enjoyable everything else was. Of the numerous Airbnbs we have stayed at in Canada, South Korea, and Australia, Clare and Pete's place is a standout and one of the most memorable...and they are among the most conscientious and thoughtful hosts we have ever encountered.
