I stayed with a colleague at Vito's place to attend a conference in the beginning of April. Besides that we had pretty good weather slightly untypical for London at this time - it was Vito's place that surprised as the most. And to be clear at the beginning - it was much better than we expected!
Vito's place is very central close to London Bridge. You have a 5 minute foot walk to either London Bridge or Borough to get into the tube and get around London fast and easily. Moreover, there is a massive amount of buses going simply anywhere right around the corner. I even got there at 2 a.m. without any tube running pretty easy...
The apartment itself is located in an old warehouse complex in a very silent inner courtyard. You would expect a busy apartment close to overground rail and a couple of high traffic areas, but due to this courtyard you get away from both and the nights were surprisingly silent. It is important to say, that the apartment looks exactly as on the pictures! Those brickwork walls are really charming. We felt very comfortable the whole time. It is ideal with its two bedrooms having a huge bed each. The living room with open kitchen is great and there is even a washing machine for longer stays. The bathroom has a shower and is more than enough for your daily personal hygiene :) What we really liked was the view from the living room, where the Shard (the highest building around) was so close and worked pretty good for weather judgment depending on the amount of fog that was hiding it in the morning.
Right around the corner of the apartment is the famous Borough Market with so much fresh produce, cheese, meat, fish - nearly everything you can imagine. There is even a spice shop having simply everything (I bought some Carolina Reaper there...).
Vito was extremely caring when hosting us. As he was not in town a friend of him checked us in. Everything went smoothly and pretty easy. We had constant contact per WhattsApp and Vito was responding very fast. If there would have been any issue, I'm convinced Vito would have found a solution in minutes. He even prepared some documents with some tips what to do around and where one could grab a good dinner. We spent two mornings at the Breakfast Club around the corner enjoying delicious pancakes. Further, we tested on of his recommended Indian restaurants at it was great, too. Vito was also very flexible concerning check-out, had some beers and chips ready for us to try and really seems to be a nice guy. We would have loved to meet him in person.
There is nothing more to say than I would give 6 out of 5 stars here and can only recommend everyone looking for a great stay in central London - stay with Vito!
