We liked Ben's apartment so much, we extended our stay, twice! Really a superb location and a great place to base ourselves to visit friends and family all over London. An extra bonus if you're travelling with a car (or plan to rent one for weekend trips) is that his street is very quiet and over 2 weeks we didn't have any issues finding a car park more than 20 metres from the flat. Plus, street parking is free from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning.

We finally managed to meet Ben, and he's a great guy, and a very good host. He was also super-flexible and arranged to stay elsewhere when we extended our stay to allow us to have the place to ourselves.

We got a minor surprise when we were asked to pay a GBP 30 cleaning fee (in cash) on checkout, but it turns out that this was Ben's first-time using AirBnb's special offer feature and he forgot to include it in the price. I'm sure it won't happen again.

Thanks again Ben for a great stay. We'll be back!
