Serge is a very experienced Airbnb host. He was very welcoming, organised and helpful. I spent the month of June staying with Serge and I couldn't have asked for a better room or host.

The description and photo's on the listing are very accurate. The room itself is surprisingly large and very well equipped. The garden flat is very light, bright and clean.

There are a couple of local shops, takeaways and a post office within two minutes walk. There are larger supermarkets around 12 minutes walk away.

The flat is very well serviced with bus routes and the bus stops are within 2 minutes walk. You can easily get directly to most major tourist sites within one bus trip (around 30 mins on the bus). For visitors to the UK, you need to have an oyster card to take public transport. These can easily be purchased from local shops - not at all complicated. You can also add credit to the card at these shops. If you're a keen walker, you can walk into the city in around 50 mins.

I would definitely recommend Serge's flat to anyone looking for a base to see London without the enormous expense of a hotel.
