Paul was an ideal host. Communication on his part was second to none, in spite of him being on the other side of the world! Obtaining the keys was simple and painless, and Paul's information sheet was comprehensive, easy to understand, and incredibly useful. The flat is - as the pictures show - a delight, and it's only one stop from London Bridge, meaning tourist attractions are about ten minutes away, with a following wind.

Deptford is certainly still in the process of being gentrified, but it's a cool place, and has nice upmarket amenities. I never felt anything but completely safe. It is also very near New Cross, which has a lively student population, and decent bars. The weekend market is on your doorstep, and well worth a look too.

All in all, Paul was a perfect host and his flat was great. If you intend to sight see, it's a great location, and if you fancy a change from the bar scene in East London, it's got a lot going for it.

Highly recommended.
