Fantastic location for exploring London! Leicester Square tube stop just around the corner with direct route to Heathrow. Easy walking distance to Eye, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, etc,. for our family that included 10 year old and 68 year old. Short walks to theaters and ballet. Shopping in Covent Gardens only minutes away. Lots of action on the Irving street cafes to watch from the apartment windows (pure entertainment for 10 yr old!)
Apartment has a nice layout, plenty of room to spread out. Big comfortable beds and large bathroom with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking but with so many restaurants just out the front door, we cooked less than planned. The only knock against the apartment is the street noise echoing from Leicester Square late at night on the weekend; weeknights were not an issue. Noise is not a problem in the back bedroom however the street side bedroom is best for a heavy sleeper. Free Wi-Fi was fast and consistent...a big plus with kids.
Denis is an excellent host. He was gracious accommodating our early arrival and the milk, juice and water in the fridge was a welcome touch. He offered local tips and was available for questions (and responded quickly.)
I would most definitely rent this apartment again on a future trip to London, especially when bringing first time visitors to the city.
