This was a wonderful place to stay, we certainly would return if at all possible when we are next in London. The apartment is cozy but very comfortable, perfect for a couple (but no extra space for entertaining). In perfect shape for our arrival. Lovely under-the-floor heating (so many places in London can be very cold), very well and very cleverly outfitted. Lots of character while at the same time as modern as could be, state-of-the-art TV system for example, very clever – and practical – lighting and other nice touches that made this place so nice to be in.

The apartment is just across from the Herne Hill train station and a 1 minute walk from the bus stop for buses into central London, but nevertheless amazingly quiet and private. Herne Hill is a great location by itself, with plenty of shops and places to eat very close, a 10-minute bus ride to Brixton. But also through train or bus, very easy and quick to get to almost anywhere in London.

Jim as host greeted us and made us very comfortable. He also proved to be extremely responsive when we needed a bit of help with some things. Also it was very nice to share the apartment with Effie the cat. We of course had to feed her. But for a cat lover, this was a pleasure. And if one is not a cat lover, then this is not the place for you. Thank you Jim – and Effie.
