As an experienced Herne Hill resident, I can highly recommend staying at Glyn's. The road is ideal as it is just off Half Moon Lane that runs through the village. It is also a gorgeous and well kept street with pretty trees and lovely residents. The house is terrific, a great size which is ideal for airbnb - in my opinion. The family are 5 stars and because they are experienced hosts, everything is simple and easy. I also recommend Herne Hill because it is a junction in London with access to the city's far corners. Trains, and buses aplenty. Brockwell park is also my favourite park in London. The rooms that are available are also a good energy. Go for it!
