James is a wonderful host! You could not find a warmer, kinder Londoner. Visiting with James was one of our favorite things we did while staying here!
This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a true local experience. The local restaurants are tasty and charming. We ate outdoors at Queenswood on the square in front of the apartment. It was sort of an Asian-British fusion food. Very good food and good service as well. We also grabbed some pastries to go from Gail's on the day we checked out and they were fabulous. There is a little grocery store next to James' place where we purchased wine, cheese, crackers, and ice cream for an unconventional dinner and enjoyed them on James' patio one evening. The patio is lovely and one of our favorite aspects of James' home. We would have loved to try more of the area restaurants if we had stayed longer.
James prepared tea and coffee along with a continental breakfast for us each morning during our stay which we appreciated very much.
We also enjoyed using the public transportation while staying here. The bus stop for bus 170 is very close to James' home and we rode this bus each day to Victoria Station (about 15 minutes) and used the Underground or walked from there to do all of our London sightseeing.
Our 21 yo son and his wife stayed upstairs in the mouse mezzanine. They did fine with the low ceiling and said the bed was very comfortable.
We stayed here June 19-22nd, 2019. We would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
