10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
I had a wonderful experience staying in this lovely and safe area. The apartment felt like I was visiting a friend's house while they were away. It was filled with natural light, especially in the kitchen and bedroom. The neighbours were quiet, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. Jo, the host, was kind, understanding, and very professional. She responded quickly to my messages, which I really appreciated, especially as a solo female traveller. I felt safe during my stay. The apartment was well-furnished and comfortable, with everything I needed—though I did notice there was no iron available while I was there. A Tesco Express is only a 5-minute walk away, and the tube station is about a 15-minute walk. There are also bus stops within a 2 to 15-minute walk. I would definitely stay here again! All you could need is available (but not an iron while I was there). Tesco Express is a 5-minute walk away. Tube 15-minute walk. Buses 2-15 minute walk away. I would stay again!

Wonderful cozy & quiet stay in Bermondsey for my mom and I. It was perfect for our needs, and would recommend to others!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
My 19-year-old son and I loved staying at Jo’s flat. It’s small (think “cozy”) but gets plenty of sunlight, even on overcast days. She’s made excellent use of the space—despite its size, we didn’t feel cramped. And it’s an excellent value, which allowed us to budget for other things like dining, entertainment, sightseeing, etc.The beds are very comfortable. If you're tall or don’t like ladders, the loft bed might not be ideal. My 5'6" son had to duck slightly getting in and out, but once up there, it was cozy and comfy. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware. The oven, dishwasher, and washer are compact. There’s no dryer, but a drying rack is provided. This worked fine for our week-long stay. The private, L-shaped patio is a real plus; I loved having my morning coffee there.The location is fantastic—less than five minutes to Bermondsey Street, full of restaurants, pubs, and shops. The area reminded me of some of the trendier parts of Brooklyn in NYC. It’s a 15–20-minute walk to the Tube (Jubilee line), which connects easily to other lines. Buses are also available, though we preferred the Tube. (Note: Tube and buses aren’t really air-conditioned—something to keep in mind during summer.)Jo is friendly and responsive. She seems to have addressed the few negative reviews she received in 2024. Unless you're extremely particular, you’ll find the flat clean and secure. We found Jo’s listing accurate, and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
We wanted a place where we could cook, sleep well, and sit outdoors in a residential burrow of London.
Adequate on all counts but not as clean as i prefer.
