After traveling for many hours from Seattle, it was a delight to arrive at Barry’s flat. Barry himself, knowing that the door to the flat was slightly tricky to find, was hanging outside waiting to intercept us and guide us in when we arrived. Barry was a delight to interact with, as he thoroughly introduced us to all the usual details and idiosyncrasies of the flat. Although we didn't find ourselves in any situations in which we needed him during our stay, it was a comfort to know that he was always accessible by phone.

The apartment’s location, in the heart of Covent Garden, a block from the border of Seven Dials, is perfect. It’s very much in the midst of a very happening scene. The flat is less than a five-minute walk to the Covent Garden Tube station and multiple bus stops, less than ten minutes to Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square or Tottenham Court Road, and less than fifteen minutes to the Thames (Waterloo Bridge). Anything you'd need for your stay (notably food at Tesco or Marks & Spencer) is right in the neighborhood.

The flat is small but felt very cozy and had everything we needed for the seven days that we spent in London. The fridge contained many goodies when we arrived. The bed was very comfortable. We agree with the previous reviewer; let Barry know if you're highly sensitive to cleaning materials.

In short, we highly recommend the flat, and would definitely stay there again the next time we’re in London.
