We were pleasantly greeted by Marina within minutes of coming out of the tube stop. We'd called her since we were a bit confused and she'd been in a nearby shop. She escorted us back to her apartment, offering tips and suggestions along the way. Her home was very clean, attractively decorated, and though small it was designed for efficiency. We had all the modern conveniences we needed for our 6-night stay. We appreciated that Marina had left us with a few staples to start our breakfast the next morning. We were there during an exceptionally hot week for London but were quite comfortable using a fan we found in a closet and getting cool evening breezes through the windows and sliding glass doors. Marina couldn't have been nicer and we were pretty much completely satisfied with our stay. Only problem can be the street noise when the windows are open on summer weekend evenings and neighbors are partying. Location and public transit worked well for us, but we also enjoyed the shops and restaurants of nearby Broadway market, about 5 blocks away. I strongly recommend Marina's apartment.
