This stay is a great base for exploring London, with plenty of trendy shopping and food options a short walk from the front door. When you’re facing a heatwave, that proximity matters. The area is safe, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable there as a young woman alone.
Anna-Bella is a phenomenal host. She explained all the appliances and kept up excellent communication. I didn’t have a problem, but if I did I would have felt confident reaching out to her.
If the listing is inaccurate, it’s only that the current photos don’t indicate that the flat is a little larger than it appeared when I saw booked it. The fan keeps you cool enough to sleep in 85 F weather. Anything hotter is probably asking too much of a place without air conditioning.
There are so many little details that are not only creative, thoughtful additions but genuinely make the place a better and more comfortable stay: the cords holder by the couch, the couch/mattress under the raised bed where I slept to stay cool, the greenery outside the windows for privacy and shade, the metal and glass straws, the toiletries. It’s clear she put real thought into the place and it’s paid off.
Everything is clean and smells fantastic. The one or two Harry Potter touches are delightful. : )
