This flat made a great home base for my family of three for a week in early August. The neighborhood is wonderful, with unique shops, cafes and restaurants, and very centrally located to explore all of central London. The flat itself is spacious, comfortably furnished, and well ventilated -- esp. important after London had just experienced a heat wave. We visited friends' places which still hadn't cooled off, but this apartment has good windows and is well supplied with fans. Maybe the biggest positive for us was John, who met us to hand off keys, show us the apartment, and gave us a golden piece of advice which was to use the buses instead of the un-air-conditioned tube. It's less expensive (especially with a free under-12 child), easy (any wifi credit card works, no ticket or Oyster card required), more scenic (obviously), and you can get just about anywhere from stops at Baker St. a block away.
