Sam's apartment is a delight to stay in and is extremely well located. There's a certain magic in the view of the park that changes ever so slightly during the day. There is definite pleasure in enjoying a walk through the park and then going straight on shopping for exquisite food at the Whole Foods Market just around the corner. If you are travelling with a teenager you will definitely enjoy the variety of fun shops just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. As for the public transport, besides the tube, there's a bus stop 2 minutes from the apartment that connects to oxford street as well as trafalgar square. We were very well welcomed by the houskeeper and stayed in contact with Sam, the host, via e-mail and text. We found the flat both elegantly furnished and cozy at the same time. It was an amazing trip and I absolutely recommend this flat.
