We stayed in Pete's lovely flat for a little over a month just as the pandemic was re-surging in Britain: we were there for our mandatory 14-day quarantine, the lifting of the national lockdown, followed by the swift introduction of new restrictions as London got moved to Tier 4 and Christmas got 'canceled.' Having been forced to spend a lot of time at home instead of exploring the exciting surroundings, we can testify that Pete's place is a really great place to call home. The flat is stylish without being pretentious - it has a lot of personality and feels very cozy. It seems to be a place Pete rents out only when he's not living there himself, and this is reflected in the furnishings, decor, and kitchen items. Everything (kitchen knives and gadgets, for instance) is high-quality and thoughtfully picked out. Incidentally, the place has a really great bathtub. (The neighborhood, of course, is also really fun, even in pandemic conditions!)
Pete himself is a really nice guy, and as a host he was extremely communicative and considerate with us. Without getting into too much detail, the pandemic ended up throwing a lot of uncertainty into our plans, and Pete was extremely understanding about all of it. It was a strange and difficult time for us as it was for the rest of the world, but we'll have really warm memories of the time Pete welcomed us into his home. Thanks Pete!
