Simon has the most amazing Victorian house and it is right on Clapham Common and very, very conveniently located near top restaurants and bars yet it is very peaceful and quiet. Incredibly easy to find and so helpful that he let us check in early, that saved us from having to drag our things around London for hours waiting for a check in. We were so happy we had that kind of flexibility offered to us as our London arrival was so early in the morning. One of my favourite neighborhoods in London is Clapham and I was overjoyed to find Simon's place. I love artistic decor and Simon's place is full of fun, funky and fabulous decor items...it's loaded with personality. We got to stay in a rather large and uber comfortable studio suite that he has and we loved our accommodations. The bed was very comfortable and all of the room was fun and comfy. It was exactly what we wanted. Simon is just an all around great guy. Very friendly and even more helpful than we ever imagined. We were very happy staying with him and plan to come back every time we are in London. If you are looking for a special place, in a great neighborhood with a fantastic park and loads of wonderful entertainment and dining choices....in one of the hippest areas of London then Simon's place is the place to be!!! Five stars all the way around. Ohhhhh and an extra added bonus.....if you love puppies....you will love it here as he has some gorgeous little doggies that my boyfriend and I absolutely fell in love with. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found this wonderful little gem in London and look forward to staying many more times in the future. All hosts should be as lovely and helpful as Simon and we will miss him and his beautiful home. Thank you for making our stay so loevely. Simon...Hip hip Hooray!!!!!
