Anthony made sure to send very detailed directions on how to get to the flat, how to get around London, where to buy food, where to visit, and so forth. He was the world's best travel agent! Upon arriving, I dealt with the enormously kind concierge, who let me in. In the apartment (which looks exactly as advertised) was a handbooks of sorts that contained instructions for literally every appliance/feature in the house. This was an excellent idea, because without it the oven would have completely eluded me! Honestly, the flat is very lovely, very well taken care of, very well-located, and a delight in every way. I didn't want to leave!

Location: two blocks from the underground, 100 yards from the Tower of London and the Thames, 5 minutes from pubs, etc. It's a banking district, really, so it's quite lively during the week and very still on the weekends. Just fine by me!
