I had a really nice stay at Sal’s place. It came very much as advertised; spacious, bright, quiet, and comfortable. The location means a short walk to the tube and a short ride on it until you arrive at the heart of the action, and in many ways, that was a bonus, as that meant the benefit of getting to be in a neighbourhood, as opposed to being surrounded by other tourists. Also, because I arrived in London from elsewhere in the UK, and my getting there was disrupted by the rail strike, Sal was kind in adjusting to unintended zigging and zagging on my part around arrival logistics, and I very much appreciated that.
