This is an amazing and inspirational one-bedroom flat - it has a spacious and comfortable lounge, a big well-equipped kitchen, and a bedroom that has just been redecorated. It has absolutely everything you could possibly need.

If you're looking for a 'hotel experience', this isn't it - Les's place is crammed full of unusual and interesting nick-knacks and artifacts, and decorated with 100s of pictures on the wall. If you're going to bring everything but the kitchen sink, expect to live out of the suitcase, because you won't find much storage space. Apart from your clothes & cosmetics, you won't need anything else here! There is a huge bath to soak in and relax, and a shower fitting for when you just want to get out and about quickly.

TV lovers are out of luck - there are currently some problems with a new building that has been erected blocking the TV signal apart from BBC1 and BBC2. But you can use the super-speed internet to stream most TV channels and use a HDMI cable to connect your computer to the huge Samsung TV. Les also has a huge record and tape collection, and a digital radio, so you can relax with music or the latest news from around the world in whatever language you want.

The flat is very close to Great Portland Street (which is ideal for shops and restaurants), and getting around London is easy, whether you choose to travel by underground, bus or on foot. It's also an easy walk to Euston Station where you can get to all areas of England.

I would say this flat was ideal for someone who wanted to focus on some kind of creative art or writing project whilst living in the heart of London. It is on the third floor, with no lift, so be prepared to get fit!
But it is quiet, and very, very secure.

I stayed for 10 nights, and I wasn't disturbed once by the neighbours or noise from the street. Les collects clocks, and I can't sleep with a ticking clock, so I had to move the 3 clocks from the bedroom into the bathroom, apart from that, there was no noise at all at night.

You won't find a better value flat on Air BnB for location, price and amenities. It's clean, comfortable and very unique. Les is very responsive, friendly and helpful, and a great host. Book it, if you can!
