Right from the start, Chris made us feel completely welcome in the flat. Everything was immaculately tidy, and we had everything we needed to make ourselves at home! It was so relaxing to return to a quiet, comfortable retreat after busy days sightseeing. The convenience of this flat cannot be overestimated -- a few blocks from the Northern line and a short bus ride to the Bakerloo or to the heart of London. It was also easy to get in a morning run along the Thames. Just steps away, Kennington's cafes provided plenty of tempting and delicious pastries for breakfast. We loved Sally White's, which Chris recommended. There are several local pubs, providing options for low-key evenings nearby. Our only regret is that the weather wasn't warmer to allow us to make full use of the sweet garden!
