Clare's place is an oasis in noisy, packed London. It's spacious, with a nice bed, good storage if you're staying for a while, and the living room is perfect for lounging around. The bedroom has great blinds for blocking out light and the apartment doesn't face the street, so if you're a light sleeper, you'll be fine. There's also a nice outdoor patio area (for when it isn't raining) that makes it feel even more like a hidden refuge, but then you can walk outside and still be right in the thick of it.

The area has two different markets nearby, which is great for picking up snacks, water, etc. You're also near a ton of great food and drink options, along with being not too far from trains to get to the rest of London.

Staying here was the best Airbnb experience I've had yet.
