I was actually the first Airbnb guest for this listing. The host listed here, Viviana, just moved out of the family apartment, and the Airbnb guest will be staying with her parents, Nestor and Celia, and one long-term renter who just recently moved in.
It’s a tidy, well lived in family home and a very comfortable place to stay. There are two small dogs, who get used to guests very quickly. The bedroom is a cozy size, with a desk, and plenty of space for clothes and storage. It has a nice sized flat screen TV on the wall at the end of the bed (and there’s another larger TV with Netflix in the living room.)
Nestor and Celia are both still working and guests will often have the living room space to themselves. There’s a large comfortable sofa, and it was a great place to get work done. The hosts are welcoming and generous and allowed free access to all of the home’s amenities (including a washer and a deluxe drying rack that plugged in and heated up for faster drying!)
The neighborhood is an ideal location. Clapham was recently named the best neighborhood to live in London. It has three Tube stations, and a multitude of bus connections. Clapham South tube station is just 7 or 8 minute walk away (and you’ll pass a Tesco grocery store on the way) and you can walk to Clapham Common station in 20 to 25 minutes. The Common itself is just 3 minutes away. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants, and cafes – heaviest concentration at Clapham Common. There was also a Picturehouse movie theatre at Clapham Common, with 7.50 discount Monday showings. This was my seventh trip to London and this was definitely the most convenient location I’ve been in.
