We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Simon in his lovely flat; it was clean, convenient, and close to everything we needed. Right next to the flat was Kennington Station that took us to London in about 15 minutes. Around the very safe neighborhood, there was a Tesco just down the block for groceries, as well as a lot of good eateries, some of which were great recommendations by Simon (The Old Red Lion pub was a highlight!) London is definitely a hectic place so coming back to this relatively quiet residential area to decompress was a welcome oasis.

We are also pretty independent travelers, so it was great that Simon was there if we needed anything, but he also gave us a lot of privacy. He was always available via the Airbnb messaging app and always gave us quick responses (within an hour or so). Simon is such a lovely person, though, that we always looked forward to running into him in person for a great chat. Simon was so gracious as to even invite us to a delicious home-cooked Easter Sunday lunch which we can't stop talking about.

The flat had absolutely everything we needed. It had two twin beds that could easily be pushed together to form a king size bed, a table to plan our day on, a TV with lots of digital channels, plenty of outlets, two large windows for the sunlight we did have during our stay, a hot plate, a microwave, dishes and cutlery, a washing machine and drying rack, an iron and ironing board, laundry detergent, mini fridge, hair dryer, extra towels, soaps, and a pantry graciously stocked by Simon on our first day with butter, bread, cereal, and milk, tea, and coffee for a French press. There was even a towel warming rack in the bathroom!

Our previous Airbnb experience was terrific and set a high bar so I'm glad to say that this definitely met a high standard. We would definitely stay here again if Simon would have us :)
