Renting Mike's flat near Leicester Square was awesome. The experience couldn't have been more pleasant for our family of 5. Mike was there to meet us and help us take the bags up the stairs(3 flights). He then gave us a quick tour of the amenities and left us with the keys. The flat was great: Good wifi...hot water...everything you'd expect. You are right in the thick of things. It's definitely not a quiet, sleepy neighborhood, but if you like London action, you'll love this place.
