Our stay was cozy with a great view of London! Though small (standard for London) but enough space for 2 people. It was very clean and thoughtfully equipped. The location is great. 5 mins to the underground and buses. Located in a safe area and secure building. There is a restaurant next door which is very convenient.

The homestay consists of 2 separate bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a living room. The accommodation is non-smoking.

Popular points of interest near the homestay include Buckingham Palace, Victoria Train Station and Banqueting House. The nearest airport is London City Airport, 15 km from BIG BEN'S SHADE.

The location is perfect. Every tourist attraction can be reached by foot, tube, or any other local transportation. It is located in a quiet part, so, during the night we had a very good sleep without any interruptions. We made breakfast, but we were very pleased that the breakfast items such as fruits, butter, jam, bread, ham, cheese, milk, and juice, waited for us in the fridge. The flat is on the ground floor and very easy to access. The flat is decorated in the English style. The beds were comfy. The place was very well-cleaned and cozy. We met Dino when we arrived. He picked us up at Victoria Station, and we walked to the flat (7min). He is a very nice guy, and he gave us a lot of information and useful tips. He surprised us with a delicious cheesecake and beer. Unfortunately, we haven't met Edwin because he was away, but maybe some other time when we will come back.

Our stay was perfect. Michael is a great host with a really good vibe.

The area seems safe during day and night and you can find supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants in the area.
