Usually, I am quite suspicious when reading reviews with too many positive adjectives. Well, today I can help it but have to use many of them myself.
Ian and Didier are fantastic hosts. My son (11) and I felt very welcome as soon as we entered the beautiful house (actually even before, as Ian and Didier had given us useful tipps on how to travel in London). They are very helpful and provided us with detailed information about the surrounding area and good ideas on where to go out for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Furthermore, Ian and Didier always offered their assistance when needed.
The house is just marvellous. The room we had is spacious (about 20sqm, this is huge especially for London) and equipped with a build-in-wardrobe, a sink and a kettle (even with tea and coffee!). The bed is very comfortable.
Everything, the room, , the hall, the bathroom and the toilet, is spotless clean. It is exactly as shown in the pictures (or even better!).
The house is located next to a small church yard in a quiet, small street. It is in walking distance to Southwark Station, Waterloo Station and many bus stops. There is even a Santander bike station on the other side of the road. So, travelling from here to any place in London is as easy as it gets. But you can also easily walk to many sights like e.g. the Tate Modern, the Millenium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe (all 5 mins), the London Eye (10 mins) or St. Paul's Cathedral (15 mins) to name just a few. Also restaurants, pubs, bars and two small supermarkets can be found in walking distance.
So, if you are looking for a faboulus place to stay in London, with the most amiable hosts, in a pleasant surrounding, then I can higly recommend staying at Ian and Didier's.
Thank you Ian and Didier for the great time we had! I would have given ten stars if possible!
