I stayed here for my first two weeks in London after starting a new job. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Steph was a truly amazing host - if you need someone who knows the local area, look no further! Right after arriving she was drawing me a map of the area, looking up how I could get to work, suggesting places to eat/drink. Nothing was too much trouble, and it was great to have such a stress-free first couple of weeks in London.

The flat is amazing - I was genuinely sad to leave. It is exactly as pictured, beautifully decorated, full of interesting objects, books, art. It's huge by London standards, and the bedroom has loads of storage and space for suitcases, along with a very comfy bed. The area is safe, and surrounded by excellent transport (bus, overground and rail). I felt at home sitting in the living room watching TV or using the internet. Cat Animal is hilarious, she has a great personality and I loved having her waiting at the top of the stairs after a long day at work.

I'll definitely keep in touch, and hope to meet Rhiannon when she's back from her trip-of-a-lifetime to Pitcairn. Thanks for a great stay!
