I had a very comfortable, pleasant stay at Paul's flat. He welcomed me warmly and made sure I knew what I needed to to feel comfortable (about keys, the neighbours, the kitchen, etc). The location couldn't be more convenient for Kew Gardens - and as a unexpected bonus, Paul even walked me down so I could use his membership for entrance! There are multiple transit options nearby, meaning it wasn't difficult to get into central London or to Gatwick airport. The neighbourhood is also lovely and quiet, with some great independent shops and cafes nearby. Overall, Paul's place is a perfect choice for a solo traveler wanting to spend time at Kew.
