Our month-long stay at Ed's was a real London experience. The flat seems to have been upgraded since the pictures were taken, including a new and very comfortable couch, a kitchen bench with two bar stools and nice redecoration. Please be aware the apartment is on the top floor with no elevator, which may pose problems for those with heavy luggage. However it was no big deal for us.

The neighbourhood is quiet and residential, the apartment overlooks the pretty Newington Gardens. The Elephant and Castle shopping centre, now endangered by new real estate developments, has its own charm and is only a five minute walk away. Very convenient transport links at Elephant and Castle, both Underground and buses.

Size-wise, the apartment was definitely big enough for the two of us, with big windows and we really felt at home. The loft bed, which creates a good deal of floor space, is very comfortable provided you don't mind climbing the ladder (we didn't). There are interesting books, dvds and records that made our stay even more pleasant.

Ed was a gracious host. He remained very communicative even while travelling, and when our following Airbnb host delayed our stay he kindly offered us to stay one extra night.

Only flaw of our trip was the lack of cleanliness when we walked in, however we are sure that Ed will remedy that in the future.

For all these reasons we'd definitely stay at Ed's again!
