Ben's place is perfect for a stay in central London. I stayed with a friend sleeping in separate rooms and we had a comfortable stay: both rooms have good beds, the apartment was clean, and it had everything that you'd expect for a cosy stay. Close to transit, parks, the great restaurants and nightlife of Soho, and shopping around Oxford Circus. The apartment itself is pretty quiet because it's not on a major street- noise was never an issue at all. Walking distance to lots of the major attractions (Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, British Museum, etc.). Ben is a great host- he managed to accommodate us at 5pm on our first night when we had a problem with the apartment we had booked beforehand. Would highly recommend Benjamin's apartment for a short or long stay.
