About the Area

It is a very quiet neighbourhood, therefore, a good place to relax after the hustle of being in the centre of town.

For restaurants, there are several Indian restuarants on Kennington Road as well as a Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, a Chinese Restaurant, 2 new Japanese restaurants several coffee shops, a Fish and chips shop, a couple of good pubs that also serve food.
A local supermarket is also within 3 minutes walking distance to grab certain essentials.

    it was ok. nothing too special, basic home, host was friendly. He didn't give no troubles at all; the location is very nice close to a lot of places by walking. Michael is a simple and a good guy. I enjoyed my stay honestly.

    Michael is lovely, super chilled. The room was nice, perfect for a short stay, and I love the area, very green, shops and restaurants nearby, easy access to centre and a nice river walk. It is not the cleanest of flats, a little dusty, but it was a very hot few days and all windows were open, so fair enough. Thanks, Michael.

    The apartment has a very good location in London and the rent is not too expensive. I found the apartment dirty. Indeed, there was dust, the bathroom and the kitchen were not very clean. I stayed in the apartment from March to May (2 months) and it was very cold in my room (15 degrees) so I had trouble falling asleep. I do not recommend this accommodation for your stay in London.

    Michael est un hôte très accueillant et disponible. L’appartement est très bien situé dans Londres, très pratique au niveau des transports. L’appartement se trouve dans un endroit calme et « safe » . C’est une adresse parfaite pour découvrir Londres à pieds , tout simplement.
    J’ai passé un très bon séjour chez Michael.

    Michael is a really great host! He made the check in and check out very easy for me. Whatever I asked him for, he could help me out with. The location is convenient since you are easily in London Central. I would definitely stay there again.
    Thank you Michael!

    The apt. location is fairly close to the center of London, you can be anywhere within 40min. The neighbourhood is quaint and rather silent with nice bars in walking distance.
    The room itself is very small and you will not have access to the living room. Thankfully I had a place to work outside of the apt. because the room only had a bed and a bedside table which made it very awkward to use my computer.
    Unfortunately it clearly seemed like the presence of sub-letters was a bother to Michael.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
