This is a great place in a spectacular location. You're next to a Tube and Thameslink station with dozens of bus lines running by your doorstep. Ideal for going out and exploring the city. Even during strikes, one or the other has been working fine. There are also a large number of ethnic restaurants in walking distance. The streets can be somewhat noisy, so consider bringing earplugs. The apartment itself has everything we needed and Ahmed was an excellent host.
