We enjoyed our stay at James’ apartment. The apartment is in a quiet area but easy to get to the places we wanted to go in London. We did not use the kitchen at all as we were only there for one night. Communication was very easy and appreciated!
This is out of the control of the owner, but since the apartment is on the ground floor, you’re able to hear people coming in and out quite easily... the people above us were pretty rowdy coming in late at night and lasting until 2 am. Also, the chairs that convert to futons are nice to be able to sleep more people, but then that removes your seating in the common area. This was not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you’re wanting to hang out in the apartment and socialize.
