It was a pleasure to stay with Jo, Jake & Roo in this hip neighborhood! The flat is located a few hundred feet from the train station, but you'll hardly want to leave the neighborhood as it is one of the hippest locales in London! There is great coffee, restaurants and pubs. You'll get a real feel for the local scene. The flat is located on an amazing park, you can walk safely at all times of day or night and you are minutes from a beautiful canal.
Jo and Jake were excellent hosts. The family is warm, friendly and totally interesting. While I like the family vibe, I also enjoyed keeping to myself and resting after a long day of checking out the city. Jo and Jake were available when I had questions, but they were more than happy to leave me to my own devices and come and go as I pleased. I would definitely stay there again!
