Matthew was a great host, easily sharing his knowledge of the neighborhood and London. We applied his wisdom and had a fantastic 4 days. The neighborhood pubs he recommended were excellent (and we're food snobs from California). The room was a nice, bright, private room with a small shower and sink/toilet for our own use, nice duvet and sheets, and a pleasant view of the back garden below. Matthew gave us keys so we could come and go as we pleased, but we were always greeted with a hello and his taking time to listen to our adventures. Just the right amount of interaction for us. We would definitely stay with Matthew again. The room was right on the Northern line with super easy connection to the Bakerloo and Central/District lines, just a minute walk from the Oval station, so we got around easily and quickly on our Zone 1,2 daily passes.
