Melvin is a great host! He was so nice and helpful prior to and during my trip, I was worried about the rail strikes and potential issues at the airport but he assured me that it wouldn’t be as bad as the news made it seem. He was right! I didn’t have any difficulty getting to where I needed to go, which was a huge relief! The room I had was on the third floor, so I had a nice view of the city if I decided to open my window. One thing to note is that the bathroom is on the first floor, so yes, if you are staying on the third floor you will have to go down 2 flights of stairs to get there. However, this does not seem to be uncommon in London as many restaurants had bathrooms that were either downstairs or upstairs. He made sure I had everything I needed and was very responsive. I definitely recommend Melvin’s place if you want to stay somewhere quiet and meet other travelers!
