Such an amazing host. Considerate through and through. Let me start off with the beginning of my trip. I had a horrible time getting to London, my flight was rebooked and delayed several times thereafter. Simon fully understood and refunded me for the days I couldn't be there (so nice). Once I got there, the apartment was phenomenal. It felt so upscale because of all the small touches, the decor, and more specially how organized and and thoughtful it was. There was lots of storage for anything you could possibly bring. The place was super clean, used blacklight to inspect areas and saw nothing out of the norm. The kitchen was fully equipped for average use, toaster, water kettle, utensils, microwave and a super fast cooking oven. And yes there were dishes, pots, and pans enough for some company too. The bathroom was very accommodating with a hot towel drying rack and the plumbing was excellent, lots of water pressure both in the shower and toilet (not easily clogged). The bedroom are was pleasent too with a nice firm but comfy bed with it's own dedicated TV. On the side, there were extra comforters and blankets just for those cold nights. Might I also add that the house only appeared to have a heating system and not an AC unit as well. However I have no idea how hot it may get in the summer out in London. I visited in Jan '18. Continuing with the review, the surrounding community was great, getting around by mass transit was easy both by bus and train. Several bus lines are nearby that take you across the zone or to several nearly by train stations. Loads of restaurants both family owned and commercial within easy walking distances. Several super markets within 10 ~ 15 min walking distance. Sainsbury was my preferred choice (similar to walmart in the states). Quality of life was relatively easy/great at this location. Might I also add the surrounding streets were not busy so it's a nice and quiet location. I have nothing else to add other than Simon has been the best host I've had a pleasure to meet. I even forgot my chromecast and he mailed it to me asap without charging me for postage. I totally recommend booking Simon's place if you're coming to visit London for the 1st time or otherwise. I my choice is easy. Next time I'm in London, I'll be staying here :D Other tidbits before closing out this review... There was an iron and ironing board, and a baby play pen thing (family friendly place). Lastly, If you visit and have to buy cell carrier service, do not use "Three". "Three" was a carrier I bought from the airport, and it was terrible outside of zone 2, so keep that in mind. The Wifi here was hit or miss. Not sure why, on a rainy day I had such an unstable wifi connection, sadly there was no ethernet (assumption). Otherwise the...
