The apartment is in a great location, making it easy to get around the city, as well as to/from the airport. Many food options nearby and a small grocery store. The area felt safe, even returning later into the night and with our teens. There are a lot of steps, but that is clear in the description, we expected it, and it wasn't that bad. The place is older, but clean and cozy. The age of the apartment didn't bother us at all, but if you want shiny and new, this isn't for you. Etsh was a very responsive and helpful host, even accommodating our early arrival. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there if we are in London again.
