Brendan was a welcoming and accessible host. It's a long walk up the stairs with a heavy bag, but he offered to help. He even provided strawberries for breakfast. The flat is charming and clean, and has a lovely view from the terrace (which has a Weber BBQ, we unfortunately didn't use). It can get warm in the summer, but with windows open, it's fine. The area is convenient, near Warwick avenue tube, and very close to lovely cafes and shops in Maida Vale. The canals are lovely to walk around. Recommended, thanks Brendan.
