Wonderful Central Stay

excellent locationquiet neighborhoodhelpful amenities

The location is excellent. The Kennington station is a short walk away. Westminster Bridge is accessible on foot during nice weather. I appreciated the quiet residential neighborhood away from busier tourist areas. My room included a couch, desk, and fridge. This made staying in more enjoyable.

The stairs to the upper floors are a bit narrow. A handrail would add extra safety.

Dining

Excellent Location and Thoughtful Amenities

responsive hostmini fridgewell-stocked kitchennarrow stairs

I found the host very responsive. My room included a TV, hairdryer, mini fridge, good heating and cooling, Wi-Fi, a desk, a comfy bed with enough pillows, an electric kettle, and even travel chargers. (So thoughtful of them!) The kitchen was well stocked with a washer and dryer, toaster, fridge, freezer, cooking supplies, and a microwave.

The stairs up to the top floor were quite narrow. I also noticed that there was no guardrail or handrail present.
