Loved everything about our stay here. Lisa, the host, is lovely and provides you with all the info you need to start and discover London. The studio is cosy, clean and full of appealing optionals (Netflix and on-demand tv, hair straighteners, universal adaptors, ear plugs for the traffic noise). Your privacy is at all times guaranteed. They own a cat (the sweetest creature) which won't be of any trouble if you're not a fan, she likes cuddles but also respects boundaries. In the end, London was great, and this accommodation's really rendered the whole trip even more special.
