Geraldine’s place was perfect for me. As far as the location: Staying in South London was peaceful and less chaotic than being right in the hustle and bustle of the city, but from her place it's just a quick tube ride into the center of it all so you don't feel too removed. There are plenty of pubs and coffee shops within a 10 minute walking distance of the apartment, as well as a Tesco. Plus, she left out wonderful suggestions too. The space itself is large and was sparkling clean. I will admit I didn't cook but there's a full kitchen that looked fully equipped for any cooking you'd want to do. The view from the balcony is spectacular. The process to get into the apartment makes it feel very safe (not that there was anything that made me feel unsafe about the neighborhood but as a solo-traveler having the doorman and FOB for all the doors was comforting.) If you are looking to feel like less of a tourist and get a "local" experience while in London, I definitely recommend Geraldine's place. No, it's not a hotel or one of those Airbnb's that basically operates as a hotel so it looks and feels lived in...because it is! And that gives it the charm and warmth you'd want when you're away from your own home. South London Forever! xx
