Our stay was fantastic. When we arrived, Michael met us for a quick rundown of the flat and its features. He also brought notes on the area, transit, and tips on where to go in London regarding my previously mentioned plans. It was very thoughtful, and it certainly gave me a few ideas to keep in mind. Less than a three-minute walk away from bus stops meant I could easily make up plans on a whim.
The beds were soft, clean and comfortable. Now my sister may be peculiar, but she actually preferred the den's pull-out sofa bed! For two people, there is more than enough private space to sleep and move comfortably.
The kitchen was tidy and well-supplied with basics, and extra condiments and non-perishables in the fridge and pantry. Michael also had us some fresh flowers, soda bread, and milk. Thank you! The nearby markets and shopping centre kept us well-supplied for groceries.
The bathroom too was cleanly and warmly lit (a contrast to the bright natural light). There's no outlet in the bathroom however, although for us it wasn't necessary. There are extension cords, but I'd definitelyrecommend packing a wireless razor/etc if anyone absolutely must use electrics.
Besides the shelves of varied books, dvds, and cds, which of themselves were great for winding down, I have to make special note of the flat's decor. The art along the walls and shelves, the gathered collections of curious figures and trinkets; it all gave the place a personal touch of character and life. A lack of feeling empty I suppose, and I loved it. I am very glad to have been welcomed here.
