Donato's place was perfect for our needs. It is at the top of a block of flats on top of Honor Oak Park, with a great view over South London. When you step out of the elevator you can also see the full London skyline to the North, with all the new buildings in the city, like the Shard, Gherkin etc. Spectacular.
Donato was super accommodating - we had to check in at a weird time as our plane arrived in the early morning. He and his wife live in the flat and they were kind enough to accommodate our check-in request before moving out for our stay - the flat is available in it's entirety with hosts vacating for the duration of your stay.
The space is neat and perfectly equipped. In the kitchen we found freshly baked chocolate biscuits, which we ate nearly all of - delicious. There is a small coffee pot for the stove and milk frother which make perfect coffee. The bed is extremely comfortable and we got a great night's sleep after our long plane journey.
Honor Oak overground station is at the bottom of the hill about half a mile away, for connections to central London. Uber was still available whilst we were there and cars came within a few minutes - extremely convenient. The area is much smarter now than I remember it when I left London in 2004 and I think the improved transport links may be a reason why a lot of people are moving into the area. Nearby Peckham is quite the trendy area now.
All-in-all a great choice for our weekend in London. We travelled all the way from Cape Town for a wedding, so a comfortable spot close to the venue was essential to recharge, and this flat did the job perfectly.
