Nick was a perfect host. Friendly, well-organized, very quick to answer. We got all information we needed in time. Everything went smoothly. The apartment is clean, modern and at the same time quite cozy and pretty quiet, with a lovely little backyard. All the features mentioned are there just as expected. Balham is a typical London suburb, where you get everything you need from Sainsbury's to a Vegan food store. Nick's place is a good starting point, if you want to discover London without staying right in the city center. It's just a few minutes walk to the Underground. With the Northern Line you reach the center within 25 minutes. We enjoyed staying at the apartment a lot. It's perfect for two couples or a family with two children. We'd book again any time.
