Gary was a very kind and welcoming host. The listing and photos are entirely accurate and the flat is beautifully kept and clean. There are a couple of shops within yards of the flat (pharmacy and general store) but otherwise local shops are near Lambeth North station.
Literature left in the room was helpful and interesting.
We walked from Elephant and Castle which is about 15minutes walk (as is Waterloo). Easy to reach central London. Quiet flat with views across to the river, London eye etc.
