Ben's place brought back memories of what Airbnb used to be — an authentic experience of staying at a local's home with real belongings of real people. The communication with the host was great, and it was easy to find the key and get in. The flat itself is cosy and clean, and Ben kindly allows his guests to use some of the food in the kitchen as well as shampoo and shower gels. It's obvious that children live in the flat — there are many toys and books; I especially enjoyed finding some Pokemon in the bathroom. The flat is located in between two tube stations, so it's easier (but not always faster) to take the bus. Tower Bridge, London Bridge and Borough Market are within walking distance.
