This place was great. The location was perfect, with convenient access to multiple lines on the Tube and scores of highly-rated restaurants right there within walking distance. Chris received us personally and was very communicative throughout our journey from Heathrow, which helped a ton. He provided two sets of keys, which gave our group of six some additional flexibility when we split up. As Chris pointed out, the windows are triple-paned, so despite being in a very dense and loud location, it’s completely silent on the inside. And most importantly for an AirBnB, it was squeaky clean—not a speck of dust to be found.
I have to mention that Chris recommended some places for us to eat, and at the top of his list was the steakhouse at the nearby Hippodrome Casino. We were skeptical (“We came to London to eat a casino steak?”), but Chris was absolutely right to recommend it—the food and service were excellent, and the place itself was memorable.
It’s difficult to think of anything negative to say about the place, but if I had to come up with a con, it’s that the flat is up a few (four) narrow sets of stairs, so if anyone in your group has mobility issues, getting in and out of this place might be a challenge.
