First this is a good review! But, Americans beware, a 2nd floor flat in the UK Is a 3 flight walk up. Having said that, the neighborhood is ideal! The apt was clean and well provided for. It was a little hot for the UK when we were there and few apts have AC, a luxury we are used to in LA, but we left a fan. In short if you want a nice flat where you can truly get a feel for the country, this is the place and great location!
