Gene is a lovely host--sweet, warm, and accommodating. The stay was extremely comfortable, and everything was clean. Do keep in mind that there can be a bit of a commute into central London, but public transportation (bus, tube) is within a short walk. The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood, which is good to get away from the bustle of city central. I would definitely recommend staying at Gene's whether you're a small family or with a few friends!
