We stayed at Matthew's place for two weeks and everything was just like home. His place was spacious enough for all 4 of us. We took advantage of the laundry, wifi and kitchen while we were there. A real bonus for a family!
Luckily we had the chance to meet Matthew when we arrived. His communication was outstanding as he responded quickly and thoroughly when I had questions before, during, and after our booking. He gave great suggestions for things to do or places to eat at and that added to our "local" experiences.
The closest tube station, Elephant & Castle, is about a 20 minute walk, if you're an average walker. We ended up using the bus right across the street a bit (343, 136 or 42 depending on where we were going). This helped make it especially easy when we were running behind or were headed to the tube with luggage on the last day.
We would stay here again!
