If you're looking for what Airbnb is all about, Simon's place provides the ultimate experience of living with a local. Located in the nicer part of Clapham, a stone's away from Battersea park, between the national rail and underground stations, plenty of good restaurants (try Tim's for brunch, it was heavenly!) and shopping nearby, that's not just the positive points of his home. Staying here was literally living at home, his flatmates are really approachable (Yann's the best!), I don't even feel like I was intruding, everyone was so cool and easy going. Don't even get me started with their dogs, they're the highlight of my stay! They're extremely well behaved, friendly and the cutest things ever! If I ever return to London, I would definitely stay here again.
