We loved our stay at Salim’s flat. Even though we arrived later than planned, Salim met us at the flat with fruit and breakfast pastries. The flat was bigger than I expected especially the living room that had a table for six and a two sofas and chairs. The flat is on the 3rd floor and the lift was out of service several days so be aware that you may have to climb stairs. The beds were comfortable and they were a U.S. queen size. There were four of us staying in the flat including my husband, teenage daughter and my mother. We made breakfast every morning in the flat and there is a grocery store just a couple minutes walk away. There is also a clothes washer in the flat that was a big benefit. The flat is in a great location. There are two restaurants right by the flat. Denise a French restaurant and Amarcord an Italian restaurant. They both serve wonderful food at reasonable prices and Amarcord has a 3-course special that is very reasonable. Also, Russell Square is just a 5 minute walk and has a wonderful outdoor Italian Café called Caffe Tropea that serves breakfast and lunch. This is a great spot to have tea or coffee and people watch. The flat is only a 5 minute walk to the British Museum. We went there several times since it is so close. We used a lot of black cabs and they were always available. We also took the bus to Trafalgar square. It is easy to catch the bus just across from the flat. If you are looking for a place to stay that makes you feel that you are living in London and not just a tourist I recommend Salim’s flat. We stayed in the flat for two weeks and would stay here again.
