We had a wonderful stay at Claudia’s. I cannot overstate how convenient and central the location is. You can literally get to anywhere in the UK without renting a car. Claudia is a great host, very responsive and will do her best to make sure you have a nice and hassle-free stay. The apartment is clean and, if you live in a big city (NYC, SF), or have realistic expectation about the size of inner-city apartments, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the decent size of the apartment.
One caveat in our stay was the initial shock of how sketchy the apartment building looks. The entrance and the building are a bit ghettoish but the apartment itself is nice on the inside, renovated and clean. It is a safe, vibrant, and diverse neighborhood and we felt completely safe at all times of day and night.
I would definitely stay there again, but when my child is not using a stroller, because carrying the stroller up and down the stairs was exhausting.
