Ron is a terrific host. I had a late arrival, but he had no problems accommodating. As he said, oyster cards and mobile phones were available as well as sweet projector and stereo for iPod hook-up. He made some awesome suggestions for places to see and restaurants to visit. He also stayed in touch making sure the stay was going ok, wanting to know if he could help in any other ways.

His place is really cool. The design is totally unique, and I wish I was as artistic. He has an array of lamps to keep it bright or black out shades to keep it dark for watching movies on the big screen. I loved having an iPod dock in the living room and in the bedroom. The two bedrooms were perfect for two guests. The bathroom is nice and shower is great. It was nice to have the full kitchen available. As far as location, for me it is nearly perfect. It is in a beautiful area just outside central London. Tufnell Park and Kentish town are each small areas of activity with access to the city via the tube in ~20 minutes. The proximity to Hampstead Heath means the park is just a short walk away. And across the street is a market, laundry, shipping center, bar, deli, pet shop, cafe, and indian restaurant - everything one would need!
