Our family enjoyed an 8 day stay in the UK over Xmas, 5 nights of which we stayed in John’s remarkable flat. First, John was an amazing host who was quick to communicate and met us on Xmas Eve personally to let us and show us the flat. He provided us with enough staples to make it through the morning and added some great local recommendations (see Laurents). Location, this was most important to us - the flat was on a relatively quiet street and walkable from multiple tube locations. We wanted to explore London with our girls but not be trapped in a congested hotel, this flat offered us that. Additionally, we found pubs, shops and restaurants all walkable in under 5 minutes from the flat. Overall, a fantastic experience and memorable vacation for us. Would readily stay with John again.
