As soon as I made my reservation, Jess emailed me with a detailed description of the directions to the flat, info about the appliances and the neighborhood, as well as several walks she and her family enjoy taking. The flat is very nicely appointed, clean and with good lighting. Very modern kitchen and bath. The neighborhood is up-and-coming, with lots of little stores, pubs and cafes. I felt safe at all times.

The walks to the tube stations might be a bit far for some but I used the buses, which stopped just down the street and got me all over London (and it is cheaper than the tube!). Bed is comfy. When I had questions about something during my stay, I just emailed Jess and she got right back to me.

There is a primary school at the end of the street and that can be quite noisy around noon when the kids are out playing. Also, there is construction being done on the building across the street so there can be noise from that too. Otherwise, it is just the usual sounds of a densely-populated big city.
